Towcester Greyhound Tips – Saturday, 20 June 2026

Towcester’s Saturday card brings 12 races across the sand surface, with the first race at 14:18 and the finale at 17:55. This Northamptonshire venue is known for its stayers card, and the 500m distances on offer today will suit dogs with proven staying power and consistent racing patterns.

14:58 – Grade A5 500m

Flickering Belle comes into this race in sparkling form. The two-year-old won last time out at Towcester on 14 June, showing early speed and leading from the first bend. Form reads 11241 over the last five runs, with two wins in her last three starts. She has raced the 500m at Towcester multiple times and knows the track well. Trap 1 is slightly favourable at Towcester (21% win rate over the last 60 days), and Belle’s recent habit of releasing smartly and leading suggests she will be competitive here. Choices Cara has been inconsistent and Flitwick Benji shows mixed form at this grade.

NAP: Flickering Belle, Trap 1.

15:18 – Grade A2 500m

Roanna Sharp is the standout pick here despite a bump at the first and fifth-place finish on 7 June. Her form profile is 32131: she has won two of her last five, including a dominant victory at Towcester on 8 May (winning by 1.25 lengths at A2 grade, the same level as today). She also finished second at Monmore on a 630m trip, confirming stamina. Trainer C Condon has her primed for the 500m at Towcester, where the inside trap (Trap 1) has shown 21% success rate. Railwayclub Bob won last time but is only a two-year-old and steps up in grade; Romeo Shadow is capable but less reliable over the last five runs.

15:38 – Grade A6 500m

Ivy Hill Maisy is the standout form horse here. Her recent record reads 12154, with a convincing win at Towcester on 10 June (winning by 0.75 lengths at A7 grade) and a close second on 3 June at the same venue. She is moving up one grade but has demonstrated consistent pace and racing sense. She has raced Towcester multiple times and the 500m is her sweet spot. Trap 3 is a middle draw at a track where Trap 1 and Trap 6 both show 21% win rates, so middle ground (18% for Trap 3) is reasonable. Sovereign Poppy has one recent win but has not fired consistently. Goul River has limited recent form after a bite injury setback.

NAP: Ivy Hill Maisy, Trap 3.

16:38 – Grade A3 500m

Ballymac Loca is the pick from this field. The four-year-old shows a form line of 32526 over recent outings and critically won at Towcester on 31 May over 460m at B1 grade, beating the field by a shadow. She has raced the Towcester 500m at A3 level on 7 June, finishing third, only 1.25 lengths back. She knows the track intimately and shows the racing craft expected of a more mature dog. Trainer A Kibble has her targeted at A3 grade where she is competitive. Skilled Prince is a puppy showing erratic form and Ballykilduff Gem has form mostly over longer distances (712m and 750m trips), making the 500m less ideal.

NAP: Ballymac Loca, Trap 3.

Meeting Overview

The full 12-race card at Towcester covers grades A1 through A7, with the bulk centred on A2 to A6 grade racing. All feature races are over the standard 500m trip, playing to the strengths of Towcester’s sand surface and the stayers-oriented nature of this track. Trap 1 and Trap 6 show equal strength (both 21%), suggesting dogs drawn on the inside or far outside can prosper, whilst middle traps (2-5) show lower percentages, making rail and wide runners particularly valuable.
