Kinsley Greyhound Tips – Friday, 15 May 2026
Kinsley Greyhound Stadium in Hemsworth hosts 12 races across the West Yorkshire card on Friday, with the first race at 14:29 and action concluding at 17:56. This compact GBGB-licensed sand track has delivered clear trap bias data over the past week, with Trap 3 showing dominant form at 33% strike rate over the standard 462m distance. We’ve identified four strong feature races across the afternoon, each offering value to punters prepared to follow recent form and track conditions.
14:48 – Grade A3 462m
| Trap | Dog | Age | Trainer | Last 3 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Lundhill Ellie | 3y B | S Oakes | 366 |
| 2 | Senahel Scorpion | 2y D | D E Fradgley | 211 |
| 3 | Devon Chime | 4y D | I Zivkovic | 655 |
| 4 | Take Top Spot | 2y B | J Hurst | No form |
| 5 | Killieford Negri | 3y D | W Lyons | No form |
| 6 | Killieford Kayla | 3y B | W Lyons | No form |
The opening feature is a competitive A3 clash where trap draw advantage is pronounced. Trap 3 has won one-third of all races at this distance in recent weeks, and that favours Devon Chime from trainer I Zivkovic. However, form reading here is crucial: Devon Chime has finished 6th, 5th, and 5th in the last three A3 outings, often forced to check three and chase the race. Lundhill Ellie (Trap 1) showed real promise with a recent win on 10 April at odds of 15.00, led from bend two, but has since struggled with trap one placements and slow away notes. The standout pick is Senahel Scorpion in Trap 2 for trainer D E Fradgley. This 2-year-old won two on the bounce (24 April and 30 April) at A4 level, took 2nd from Trap 2 last time in A3 on 8 May, and has consistently led from the first bend. NAP: Senahel Scorpion, Trap 2. Early pace and a clean break into a strong field should translate at 462m.
15:07 – Grade A5 462m
| Trap | Dog | Age | Trainer | Last 3 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Grumpy Turnip | 3y B | N Langley | 224 |
| 2 | Monroe Marley | 1y D | J Hurst | 613 |
| 3 | Ardsallagh Lady | 2y B | T D Coote | 456 |
| 4 | Drombeg Dolly | 1y B | W Lyons | No form |
| 5 | Grumpy Frankie | 3y B | N Langley | No form |
| 6 | Swift Qay | 3y D | J Hurst | No form |
This A5 race includes two dogs with recent winning form. Monroe Marley (Trap 2) won two races in April at grades A7 and A5, but that was nearly a month ago, and recent form shows a 6th place finish on 27 April. Grumpy Turnip (Trap 1) for trainer N Langley has much sharper recent form: a head second on 11 May from Trap 3 in a handicap, followed by a 2nd place finish in A5 on 4 May. Earlier in April, Grumpy Turnip won from Trap 1 with a lead-from-bend-one run. The A5 grade is his level, and trap one history here is solid. Ardsallagh Lady (Trap 3) won on 10 April but has since finished 6th, 5th, and 4th at higher grades, getting checked and crowded. NAP: Grumpy Turnip, Trap 1. Proven winner at this grade with recent close finishes suggesting imminent success.
15:44 – Grade A4 462m
| Trap | Dog | Age | Trainer | Last 3 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Ballymac Pria | 4y B | B Heaton | 134 |
| 2 | Scuba Stevie | 4y D | W Lyons | 555 |
| 3 | Rackethall Penny | 2y B | I Zivkovic | 115 |
| 4 | Grantstown Road | 2y D | T D Coote | No form |
| 5 | Grumpy Jacko | 2y D | N Langley | No form |
| 6 | Lundhill Alfie | 3y D | S Oakes | No form |
Rackethall Penny (Trap 3) stands out here for trainer I Zivkovic. This 2-year-old won her last outing on 10 May at A5 level by two lengths with a quick away and all-the-way run. Before that, she won a D2 sprint on 3 May at near-level odds. Trap 3 at Kinsley is the premium draw at 462m, and Penny’s early pace suits that position. Ballymac Pria (Trap 1) for B Heaton won on 7 May, but that was at long odds (10.00) and came after mixed form on the sprint distances. Scuba Stevie has a poor run of form: five consecutive races finishing 5th, 6th, and 4th place. NAP: Rackethall Penny, Trap 3. Winning form, superior draw bias, and consistent early pace makes her the standout choice.
16:03 – Grade A6 462m
| Trap | Dog | Age | Trainer | Last 3 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Markstreet Mia | 2y B | T D Coote | 436 |
| 2 | Tomahurra Winter | 3y B | J S Atkins | 533 |
| 3 | Canya Moll | 2y B | W Lyons | 325 |
| 4 | Beaming Darling | 3y B | I Zivkovic | No form |
| 5 | Deecee Bonnie | 2y B | W Lyons | No form |
| 6 | Grumpy Baby Dave | 3y D | N Langley | No form |
Tomahurra Winter (Trap 2) for trainer J S Atkins won on 12 April from Trap 3 at A6 level, but has since faltered: misses the break on 10 May and finished 3rd on 1 May. Canya Moll (Trap 3) is more consistent: won on 3 May narrowly from Trap 4 at A6, and finished 2nd just short of a length on 3 May from Trap 3. Her most recent run on 11 May was a sprint outing (3rd at D3), but her 462m form is solid. Trap 3 bias is critical here at 33%, and Canya Moll has led and run on throughout her A6 contests. Markstreet Mia shows limited A6 form. NAP: Canya Moll, Trap 3. Strong recent A6 record, trap draw advantage, and consistent early positioning give her the edge in a tightly graded field.
The Kinsley Friday card spans A3 to A6 grades on the sand, with all four feature races at the standard 462m trip. There are no sprint or staying races on this card. Punters should check starting prices roughly 15 minutes before each race; greyhound odds firm rapidly as race time approaches. Betfair, Bet365, SkyBet, and William Hill all offer strong greyhound coverage. Forecast and reverse forecast markets are worth exploring in these competitive grades, particularly where trap draw advantage is clear.
