Valley Greyhound Tips – Sunday, 21 June 2026
Valley Greyhound Stadium in Swansea hosts 13 races on Sunday, with the first off at 10:11 and the card concluding at 13:29. Wales’s busiest greyhound venue is in fine form, and a mixed card of A2 to A4 graded 460m races offers punters plenty of betting angles across the afternoon.
12:04 – Grade A2, 460m
| Trap | Dog | Age | Trainer | Last 3 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2 | Simpson Sniper | 2y D | S Chappell | 123 |
| 3 | Epic Evelyn | 3y B | D S Davy | 512 |
| 4 | Fastlane George | 2y D | D S Davy | 211 |
| 5 | Good Streak | 4y D | A N Morgan | No form |
| 6 | Ashway June | 3y B | A Rawlings | No form |
This is the standout race of the card. Fastlane George, in Trap 4, arrives with exceptional recent form. The two-year-old has won four of his last five outings at Valley, including victories on 31 May (by 3 lengths), 24 May (by 2 lengths), and 17 May (by 2 lengths), all from Trap 4 at this exact distance and grade. His very quick away and absolute lead running style – marked consistently as VQAw, ALd, Mid-W – suits the 460m trip perfectly. Trap 4 holds 11 per cent win rate over the last 60 days at Valley 460m, which is the weakest of the draw, but Fastlane George’s class and form override this concern. He has shown he can win from this berth at this grade.
Simpson Sniper, in Trap 2, offers an alternative angle. The dog won at Monmore on 11 June and posted a solid second at Valley on 31 May from the same trap, though he fell victim to crowding and checking issues on 10 May from Trap 3. His record is mixed, but Trap 2 historically performs well at Valley 460m (22 per cent win rate).
Epic Evelyn, in Trap 3, won impressively on 31 May but has since posted a 5th place finish on 9 June. Trap 3 is the standout draw at Valley 460m (23 per cent win rate), but recent form is slightly concerning.
NAP: Fastlane George, Trap 4. His consistency from this trap at this grade is simply too strong to ignore.
10:57 – Grade A3, 460m
| Trap | Dog | Age | Trainer | Last 3 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Grovenor Anna | 2y B | A Rawlings | 423 |
| 2 | Bluejig Duke | 2y D | D S Davy | 411 |
| 3 | Marinas Malta | 3y B | D S Davy | 36-1 |
| 4 | Six By Two | 5y D | J A Danahar | No form |
| 5 | Gizmo Cashout | 2y D | M A Thomas | No form |
| 6 | Devista | 3y D | S Chappell | No form |
Bluejig Duke, in Trap 2, emerges as the standout selection. The two-year-old has won three of his last five races, including victories on 7 June (A4 grade, by three-quarters of a length) and 2 June (by 5 lengths). He shows strong bumping and crowding tolerance and clear running ability marked as LdFr2 (led from bend two). Recent outing on 14 June saw him finish 4th from Trap 1 with crowding in play, but Trap 2 is his more natural berth. Trap 2 records a healthy 22 per cent win rate over the recent sample at Valley 460m, and his winning pedigree from A4 grades suggests he is capable in this A3 company.
Grovenor Anna, in Trap 1, is a two-year-old with five recent runs all from Trap 1. She has posted a 2nd place finish by a head (19 May) and led the race on three occasions (14 May), showing raw ability, but has also suffered crowding issues repeatedly. Trap 1 is the weakest draw at Valley 460m (14 per cent), which compounds the risk.
Marinas Malta, in Trap 3, has limited recent data: a 3rd place finish on 14 June and a 6th on 7 June. Trap 3 offers the best draw advantage (23 per cent), but form is not compelling enough.
NAP: Bluejig Duke, Trap 2. His recent wins from A4 grade and bumping tolerance give him the edge in this field.
11:29 – Grade A3, 460m
| Trap | Dog | Age | Trainer | Last 3 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Ashway Diva | 2y B | A Rawlings | 652 |
| 2 | Bells Babe | 2y B | D S Davy | 55-1 |
| 3 | Baggios Wildcat | 1y D | F Bryce | 536 |
| 4 | Ashway Marshy | 3y D | A Rawlings | No form |
| 5 | Pandy Chris | 3y D | C Darch | No form |
| 6 | Hawkfield Irish | 4y D | D S Davy | No form |
Baggios Wildcat, in Trap 3, is a one-year-old with impressive recent form. He posted a winning run on 24 May (by 1 length) and another victory on 17 May from Trap 1 (by 6 lengths and three-quarters) at A5 grade. His most recent outing on 14 June finished 5th from Trap 3, but crowding and forced wide running are noted in his comments. He has shown he can win at this grade and lower. Trap 3 is the premium draw at Valley 460m (23 per cent), and his age suggests significant upside in an A3 field.
Ashway Diva, in Trap 1, is a two-year-old with mixed form. She posted a 2nd place finish on 4 June (by just half a length) and led the race from the break, but her most recent run on 14 June finished 6th with blocking in play. Trap 1 is problematic at Valley 460m (14 per cent win rate), and recent form is inconsistent.
Bells Babe, in Trap 2, has limited 460m form at this grade. Her recent outings have been on shorter sprint distances (260m, D2-D3 grades), and she recorded a lame exit on 21 May from the 460m trip. Insufficient evidence at the distance.
NAP: Baggios Wildcat, Trap 3. Youth, recent winning form at lower grades, and the best trap draw combine to make this the value play.
10:26 – Grade A4, 460m
| Trap | Dog | Age | Trainer | Last 3 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Affleck Henbit | 2y D | C Darch | 554 |
| 2 | Baggios Dilemma | 3y B | J A Danahar | 344 |
| 3 | Constitution | 1y B | F Bryce | 145 |
| 4 | Cara Nova | 2y B | M A Thomas | No form |
| 5 | Burkos Buster | 2y D | A L Jeffery | No form |
| 6 | Glengar Isla | 2y B | S Chappell | No form |
Constitution, in Trap 3, is a one-year-old with a strong recent win on 14 June (by 1 length from Trap 4, A5 grade) and solid finishing positions across five recent runs. She has suffered bumping and checking issues but has also led runs in play, showing tactical awareness. Trap 3 offers the best draw advantage at Valley 460m (23 per cent). However, A4 is a step up in grade, and her record shows variable form. Unexposed at A4, but the recent win provides confidence.
Affleck Henbit, in Trap 1, has recorded a 2nd place finish on 24 May (by 1 length) but has otherwise struggled with crowding and checking. Trap 1 is the weakest draw (14 per cent), which is a significant headwind.
Baggios Dilemma, in Trap 2, shows a recent 3rd place finish on 16 June at A4 grade and a strong Open race win on 26 April over 645m. She has recent form at this exact grade from her preferred trap. Trap 2 (22 per cent) is a reasonable draw, but she is better suited to staying distances based on her Open race record.
NAP: Constitution, Trap 3. The recent winning form and optimal trap draw outweigh the grade step-up for a one-year-old with upside.
Meeting Overview
Valley’s 13-race card on Sunday is dominated by A2-A4 graded 460m races, with quality and depth fairly consistent across the afternoon. No sprint or staying races on this particular card, so trap draw analysis focuses entirely on standard 460m characteristics. The Trap 3 advantage (23 per cent win rate) should be noted for each-way and forecast takers, while Trap 1 (14 per cent) presents a clear underdog angle in value markets.
