Doncaster Greyhound Racing Tips: Wednesday 29 April 2026
Doncaster hosts a 13-race card on Wednesday 29 April, with first race at 14:33. This popular South Yorkshire venue runs a strong evening programme across the sand surface, with competitive mid-grade racing throughout the afternoon.
Race 1: 14:33 | A3 Grade | 483m
Runners:
- Trap 1: Razldazl Ella (C A Williams) - Recent form: 11241
- Trap 2: Lissan Bro (C A Williams) - Recent form: 41531
- Trap 3: Goulane Ace (S Birks) - Recent form: 53312
- Trap 4: Zoos Fortune (A L Steels) - Limited data available
- Trap 5: Flyhigh Orthrus (L B Pruhs) - Limited data available
Razldazl Ella commands respect here. A four-year-old bitch trained by C A Williams, she has won two of her last three races over this 483m trip. Her form string reads 11241: recent wins at this distance and grade on 11 and 4 April show she handles the standard trip well. The 4 finish on 19 April was a tight loss by 3 3/4 lengths in A3 company, a creditable effort. She'll race from Trap 1 but has proven she can settle and compete at this grade. NAP: Razldazl Ella, Trap 1.
Race 2: 14:52 | B3 Grade | 450m
Runners:
- Trap 2: Ferryforth Axel (D Calvert) - Recent form: 54441
- Trap 3: Drive On Trouper (C A Williams) - Recent form: 43442
- Trap 4: Gizmo Balhoo (A L Steels) - Recent form: 3-125
- Trap 5: Cockneyalfitness (S J Lapidge) - Limited data available
- Trap 6: Keefill Iris (K Everitt) - Limited data available
Ferryforth Axel is the form horse in this race. The two-year-old dog won twice over this distance and grade in late December, posting victories on 27 and 20 December with strong ratings (2.25 and 2.38 odds). Recent form dips to 54441, with a 5 on 19 April, but that was a return from a three-month gap since January. At trap 2 running middle to rails, he has track knowledge and is likely to find his feet quickly. NAP: Ferryforth Axel, Trap 2.
Race 3: 15:11 | B3 Grade | 450m
Runners:
- Trap 1: Duggies Dance (D Calvert) - Recent form: 53433
- Trap 3: Amelias Jet (A L Steels) - Recent form: 3-13-
- Trap 4: Ballyrobin Liz (S Watson) - Recent form: 13111
- Trap 5: Keady Wine (E Gowler) - Limited data available
- Trap 6: Hes Got Style (S Watson) - Limited data available
Ballyrobin Liz is a standout pick here. The two-year-old bitch has posted three wins in her last five races: victories on 22 April, 30 March and 23 March all from Trap 4, all at this grade and distance. Her recent form string 13111 shows three consecutive wins (right side of the string). She led throughout (ALd notation) on 22 April and 30 March, winning by comfortable margins of 1.5 lengths and 2.75 lengths. Running from the middle trap at Doncaster suits her racing style. NAP: Ballyrobin Liz, Trap 4.
Race 4: 15:29 | B4 Grade | 450m
Runners:
- Trap 2: Abigail Surprise (C A Williams) - Recent form: 22145
- Trap 3: Hut Fitter (D Calvert) - Recent form: 35244
- Trap 4: Keady Storm (E Gowler) - Recent form: 12544
- Trap 5: Millhouse Ian (S J Lapidge) - Limited data available
- Trap 6: Moss Tang Sally (K Everitt) - Limited data available
Keady Storm edges this competitive B4 race. The two-year-old dog's form reads 12544, with a recent win on 22 April from Trap 4 at B6 level. He led from box 4 and won by 1.5 lengths at 1.50 odds, demonstrating pace and composure. His middle trap draw allows him to avoid early congestion and press forward. He has raced at higher grades (A4 at Suffolk Downs) and drops into this opportunity with good recent momentum. NAP: Keady Storm, Trap 4.
Meeting Overview
The card features consistent mid-grade racing across B3, B4 and A3 grades over the standard 450m and 483m trips. All four featured races sit at a competitive level where form, trap draw and trip suitability remain critical edges. The sand surface at Doncaster rewards quick starters and dogs that can settle early. No sprints or staying races are featured in the selected races.
Punters' Note
Starting prices firm 20 minutes before each race, so check your chosen bookmaker close to race time for best value. Betfair, Bet365, Sky Bet and William Hill all offer competitive greyhound markets. Forecast betting (predicting first and second in order) is worth exploring in these mid-grade contests where there is genuine uncertainty across five or six runners. Each-way betting is rarely used in greyhound racing given the smaller field sizes.
