English Greyhound Derby Betting Tips

It’s still early, but we delved deep into the kennels to find some Greyhound Derby tips worth a punt on. We’ll update our picks closer to event time and as odds evolve, but these are our expert tips based on the information currently available.

Info box icon

De Lahdedah Double?

The reigning champion is currently the 7th favourite and could be good value for a win again. Last time out, he set the track record (28.58). This year, he’s won 4 races and finished 4th and 5th in another two. Priced at 33/1 on Betfred, we expect him on many greyhound racing tips.

Info box icon

Graham Holland Winning Trainer

Graham Holland has already won two greyhound Derbies (2022, 2023) and is on course for a third. The following greyhounds are trained by him, some of which are deemed as current favourites: Bockos Diamond, 4th favourite Bombay Pat, and 7th favourite Cheap Sandwiches. The Greyhound Derby odds are in his favour.

Info box icon

Lennies Desire Bookie Value

Lennies Desire had a strong 2025 so far, with 3 wins and 1 second-place finish. The true value lies in the bookies' inability to decide on his Greyhound Derby odds; Unibet has him as low as 14/1, while bet365 has him priced at 25/1 – that’s a major gap that could make a difference of £110 on a £10 bet.

How We Select Our Greyhound Derby Betting Tips

Our selection for Greyhound Derby betting tips is all about looking at the finer details. Not just the dogs themselves but also race conditions and form. Here’s what we always research before a race.

Grade

We look for the fastest graded greyhounds that have been able to maintain their grade – that’s either SSO for sprints or AAO for middle distance.

Average Time

We look for consistency in speed, given that a greyhound having one outstanding performance isn’t a safe bet compared to a dog that’s putting up consistent, solid performances.

Winning Rate

The best dogs will be winning most of their races, especially in recent results. We look at their history and overall success.

Trainer Form

A good trainer is able tocan make champions out of several greyhounds. We look for these jockeys as an indication of a dog's potential.

Weather Conditions

Some weather conditions could greatly affect the racers – heavy rain will wet the track, making it more challenging, and sun or fog could reduce visibility. Some greyhounds thrive in these conditions, though, so we look out for such examples.

Course Conditions

Course conditions include track type – be it sand, synthetic or gravel -, size, width and number of turns. Some greyhounds do better on a particular surface or are faster on turns. Worth noticing that the Towcester Greyhound Stadium is a sand course.

Trainers are a crucial part of UK Greyhound Racing, responsible for realising the potential of their dogs and making them perform at the highest of their capabilities. The best trainers might have several dogs competing in the biggest events.

We’ve listed the best trainers with at least 10 runners. This way, we can see the best trainers that have dogs worth placing any Greyhound Derby bets on.

Looking through previous years can provide some interesting tips for English Greyhound Derby betting. Here’s what we’ve found hidden in the Towcester sand.

  • Last year’s winning trainer, Liam Dowling, had 2 finalist dogs and a third dog who lost in the semi-final. A punt on one of his dogs could be a great chance for ante post betting on the Greyhound Derby.

  • The current favourite, Bockos Diamond, will compete for the first time in the Greyhound Derby, but his trainer, Graham Holland, has won the derby twice and had 2 semi-finalists in 2024.

  • 2024’s SP favourite, King Memphis, finished sixth that year and will have another go this year, priced at 33/1 for Greyhound Derby outright betting.

  • For the last 3 editions, the SP favourites in every semifinal has won their heat.

English Greyhound Derby Recent Results

Although Churchfield Syd came out fastest from the traps, De Lahdedah took the lead at the second bend and never looked back, equalling the track record. 2nd to 5th place all finished within 0.12 seconds, translating to 1½ lengths. SP Favourite King Memphis had an awful start and couldn’t recover.
