Sitting at over 40+pts of profit for 2025, Michael Smyth has given us his three best greyhound racing tips for Sunday's card at Hove.
Open race action from Hove with the first-round heats of the Coral Gold Collar taking centre stage. Catch all the action live on Premier Greyhound Racing via Attheraces Greyhounds, or watch live via bookmaker streaming services.
Tip 1: 2.41 Hove – MISSILE ONE (T2) - 1 Point win
Heat one of the Coral Gold Collar at 2.41 looks ultra-competitive with plenty in with chances. 2025 English Greyhound Derby winner Droopys Plunge lines up from T3 for trainer Patrick Janssens and is a worthy favourite but at the forecast prices on offer, local runner MISSILE ONE appeals from T2.
The Seamus Cahill-trained railer bolted up over the 515-metre trip last time out around the Nevill Road circuit Hove following a ping break, and with a similar smart exit from the boxes this afternoon he can lead round and make all over this 500-metre distance.
Tip 2: 3.01 Hove – HEADFORD DANE (T1) – 1 Point win
Heat two of the Coral Gold Collar at 3.01 can go to HEADFORD DANE from T1.
The Maxine Locke-trained railer has kept good company in recent months, winning the Ladbrokes Gold Cup and making the final of the PGR Kent Derby.

Today, with a rails draw to work from, the Romford raider will be looking to pace up into the corner and hit the back straight on the bunny. Romeo Alliance in T2 is a class act and rates as a huge danger.
3.57 Hove – ROMEO ABILITY (T2) - 1.50 Point win
In heat five of the Coral Gold Collar at 3.57, ROMEO ABILITY looks well-drawn in T2 to clear Noellie (T1) at lid rise and make all.
Romeo Ability finished second in the BresBet Steel City Cup runner-up last week, running a cracker in defeat having turned second behind kennelmate and winner Romeo Steel.
Today, if Romeo Ability traps in best fashion and avoids an early bump, he can lead round and prove very hard to beat.
