Kinsley Greyhound Tips – Monday 11 May 2026
Kinsley Greyhound Stadium in Hemsworth hosts a 12-race card on Monday evening, with first race at 18:08 and the feature closing the meeting at 21:16. The compact West Yorkshire venue on sand surface serves up competitive A-grade racing across the night.
21:16 – Grade A4 462m
| Trap | Dog | Age | Trainer | Last 3 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Grumpy Abbey | 1y B | N Langley | 654 |
| 2 | Yeah Mick | 2y D | I Zivkovic | 255 |
| 3 | Hazelgrove Pixie | 3y B | W Lyons | 546 |
| 4 | Lightfoot Rosa | 2y B | W Lyons | No form |
| 5 | Betweenthe Lines | 2y B | J Robinson | No form |
| 6 | Julies Treat | 1y B | T D Coote | No form |
The evening finale features a competitive A4 field where trap draw advantage proves significant. Live data across the last 60 days shows Trap 3 commanding 33 per cent of winners at this distance on Kinsley sand, a clear standout. Grumpy Abbey arrives with recent mixed form, showing a last-place finish from Trap 6 on 4 May (by 8ยพ lengths) before that. However, stepping into Trap 1 tonight presents concerns given the 24 per cent win rate for the inside box at 462m here. Yeah Mick shows five consecutive races without a win, all at A4 or HP grades, with five finishes including last place and crowding issues reported. The dog is vulnerable despite recent placing at 2 on 7 May. Hazelgrove Pixie has been campaigned exclusively at sprint distances (268m) on recent outings and shows limited form at the longer 462m trip. Limited form data is available for Lightfoot Rosa, Betweenthe Lines, and Julies Treat, making them unexposed at this grade. NAP: Grumpy Abbey, Trap 1. Look for forecast value given the mixed recent form in this field.
20:59 – Grade A5 462m
| Trap | Dog | Age | Trainer | Last 3 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Deecee Nikki | 2y B | W Lyons | 311 |
| 2 | Marcianos Punch | 5y D | T D Coote | 552 |
| 3 | Billionaire Vic | 1y D | J Hurst | 361 |
| 4 | Deecee Kara | 1y B | W Lyons | No form |
| 5 | Grumpy Frankie | 3y B | N Langley | No form |
| 6 | Inclement Magic | 2y B | I Zivkovic | No form |
Deecee Nikki stands out as the standout performer in this A5 contest. The two-year-old bitch has won twice in the last four races, including an impressive victory by 1 length at A6 grade on 23 April from Trap 2, and a 1ยผ-length win at HP grade on 27 April from Trap 3 where she led from the break. She showed strong finishing ability on 4 May (3rd by 4 lengths, slow away noted) and carded 2nd place on 17 April from Trap 4. Tonight she draws Trap 1, which shows 24 per cent win rate at this distance, but her acceleration and racing intelligence compensate. Billionaire Vic has shown competitive form at A5 and A7 grades with a win on 13 April, but suffered a fall on 23 April and follows with a third-place finish on 30 April, suggesting recovery from that incident. Marcianos Punch, age 5, has not won in recent outings and shows five consecutive finishes ranging from 2nd to 6th, mostly from Trap 3 where he has crowding and checking notes. Deecee Kara, Grumpy Frankie, and Inclement Magic all show limited or no recent data. NAP: Deecee Nikki, Trap 1. Expect strong demand in the forecast market given her recent win rate.
19:49 – Grade A6 462m
| Trap | Dog | Age | Trainer | Last 3 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Crystal Ranger | 3y D | T D Coote | 334 |
| 2 | Dashgrove Shadow | 4y D | M May | 66-1 |
| 3 | Eagles Magic | 2y D | T D Coote | 116 |
| 4 | Grove Pat | 4y D | I Zivkovic | No form |
| 5 | Bayview Fred | 4y D | M May | No form |
| 6 | Twoshookmen | 3y D | W Lyons | No form |
Eagles Magic has shown the form advantage in this A6 field with a recent win on 4 May at HP grade by 1ยผ lengths, preceded by a shadow-wide victory at D4 (268m) sprint grade on 24 April. The two-year-old dog trained by T D Coote shows early pace and clear running ability. Crystal Ranger offers consistency across three recent A6 races, finishing 3rd twice and 4th once, but has not recorded a win in recent outings. Recent form comments indicate crowding issues on 7 May from Trap 2. Dashgrove Shadow shows serious form concerns: two consecutive 6th-place finishes at A6 grade and a lameness withdrawal on 30 March raise questions over soundness and current readiness. Grove Pat, Bayview Fred, and Twoshookmen carry no recent form data and remain unexposed. NAP: Eagles Magic, Trap 3. The 33 per cent trap bias at 462m on Kinsley sand strongly favours this dog’s positioning, and recent sprint-to-distance form transition bodes well for the classic 462m trip.
20:24 – Grade A6 462m
| Trap | Dog | Age | Trainer | Last 3 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Step Junior | 3y B | W Lyons | 136 |
| 2 | Southwind Twirl | 1y B | W Lyons | 146 |
| 3 | Grumpy Mia | 2y B | N Langley | 346 |
| 4 | Meenagh Medina | 2y B | I Zivkovic | No form |
| 5 | Nolas Jackon | 2y D | M May | No form |
| 6 | Grumpy Baby Dave | 3y D | N Langley | No form |
This A6 contest features several strong performers. Step Junior has won twice in the last five races, recording a dominant victory by 6 lengths on 9 April and a 1-length win most recently on 7 May from Trap 1 with early pace (EP noted). The form line improves significantly, although a 12-length defeat on 20 April suggests variable consistency. Southwind Twirl, age 1, is a juvenile with minimal 462m experience at A-grade level. Recent outings at D4 sprint distance show inconsistency (finishes 6th, 4th, 3rd, 2nd), and the jump to A7 on 7 May produced an impressive win by 2ยพ lengths from Trap 2. However, juvenile form remains unpredictable. Grumpy Mia shows a recent win from Trap 3 on 6 April by a head at A6 grade, but follows with mixed results including a 6th-place finish on 20 April. Recent form over five races includes three finishes outside the frame. Meenagh Medina, Nolas Jackon, and Grumpy Baby Dave all lack recent form data. NAP: Step Junior, Trap 1. His recent back-to-back wins and trap bias advantage at 24 per cent for Trap 1 give confidence, despite the occasional dip in form.
The full card features competitive A-grade racing throughout, with A4 through A6 grades prominent. No staying races are scheduled. Punters should monitor Starting Price movement close to race time on Betfair, Bet365, SkyBet, and William Hill, where greyhound markets firm up rapidly. Forecast markets offer value across these A-grade fields where form is often closely matched. Check the trap draw impact on your selections before betting, as Kinsley sand shows clear bias towards Trap 3 (33 per cent) at 462m.
