Kinsley Greyhound Tips – 18 June 2026
Kinsley hosts 12 races on Thursday afternoon across its compact West Yorkshire sand circuit, with the first race at 11:14 and the card concluding at 14:14. This is a solid mid-week fixture with a mix of A-grade racing that should produce some competitive betting angles.
13:58 – Grade A4 462m
| Trap | Dog | Age | Trainer | Last 3 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Swift Remi | 2y D | J Robinson | 262 |
| 2 | Hazelgrove Dusk | 2y B | W Lyons | 513 |
| 3 | Rackethall Penny | 2y B | I Zivkovic | 445 |
| 4 | Hazelgrove Pixie | 3y B | W Lyons | No form |
| 5 | Killieford Kayla | 3y B | W Lyons | No form |
| 6 | Swift Ecology | 2y B | J Robinson | No form |
Swift Remi has been in consistent form at this track and grade. The dog showed a recent second-place finish on 12 June, just half a length behind the winner, and has posted two placings from five runs at A4 level. However, trap draw is problematic here: Remi races from Trap 1, and the last 60 days show that Trap 1 has only an 24 per cent win strike rate at this distance on Kinsley’s sand surface. The dog has struggled with congestion when starting from the inside, as evidenced by a sixth-place finish on 7 June when carded and forced to check at the third bend.
Instead, NAP: Hazelgrove Dusk, Trap 2. The bitch has shown two recent wins within the last fortnight (5 June at A5, 25 May in a handicap), and form comments show attacking racing: FnWll and LdFr3 entries suggest pace and durability. Trap 2 offers middle-ground advantage (10 per cent strike rate locally, but better than Trap 1’s congestion risk). Despite a poor fifth-place finish on 11 June, the dog’s recent trajectory favours another bold performance here. This is value in a competitive A4 field.
12:03 – Grade A5 462m
| Trap | Dog | Age | Trainer | Last 3 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Highview Dance | 3y B | B Heaton | 251 |
| 2 | Grumpy Abbey | 1y B | N Langley | 653 |
| 3 | Russanda Lexi | 4y B | M May | 514 |
| 4 | Castlerock Cash | 1y D | J Robinson | No form |
| 5 | Swift Loch | 2y D | J Robinson | No form |
| 6 | Burkos Ellie | 5y B | I Zivkovic | No form |
Highview Dance has established herself as a consistent operator at this grade and track, with wins and placings across five recent runs at A5 and A6 levels. The most recent outing (8 June) yielded a second-place finish at handicap level, narrowly behind the winner. Form comments show the dog leads early (Ld-3 notations) and responds well when even in the running (EvCh). Trap 1 carries historical risk at this distance (24 per cent win rate), yet Highview Dance’s proven ability to win from the inside (28 May) suggests tactical skill in navigating congestion.
NAP: Highview Dance, Trap 1. At odds likely to be fair value, this mare deserves support based on consistent A-grade form and demonstrated winning capability from a tricky draw. The bitch has shown three wins and two places from five recent starts and looks the form pick of this field.
13:26 – Grade A5 462m
| Trap | Dog | Age | Trainer | Last 3 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Ballymac Pria | 4y B | B Heaton | 544 |
| 2 | Yeah Mick | 3y D | I Zivkovic | 465 |
| 3 | Cotswold Milady | 2y B | M May | 143 |
| 4 | Drombeg Dolly | 2y B | W Lyons | No form |
| 5 | Twisted Logic | 3y B | W Lyons | No form |
| 6 | Hazelgrove Pearl | 1y B | W Lyons | No form |
Cotswold Milady is the standout runner here. The bitch has won three of the last five races, including a dominant victory on 12 June by three-quarters of a length at this exact grade and distance. Form comments are glowing: SAw and LdRnIn on the most recent outing indicate a quick break and sustained lead, whilst earlier wins (29 May, 25 May) show this is not a fluke. The dog has progressed steadily from A7 to A5 within a month, suggesting improving form at the right time.
NAP: Cotswold Milady, Trap 3. Trap 3 is the standout draw on Kinsley at 462m, posting a 33 per cent win rate over the last 60 days. Cotswold Milady’s recent success from this trap (12 June, 8 June) combined with genuine form improvement makes her the session’s strongest NAP candidate. Forecast value exists pairing this dog with Hazelgrove Pearl or Yeah Mick as backup runners.
13:11 – Grade A6 462m
| Trap | Dog | Age | Trainer | Last 3 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Grumpy Adagio | 2y B | N Langley | 414 |
| 2 | Urgent Call | 2y B | W Lyons | 335 |
| 3 | Swift Lena | 2y B | J Robinson | 612 |
| 4 | Crystal Nancy | 1y B | T D Coote | No form |
| 5 | Norristown May | 1y B | W Lyons | No form |
| 6 | Hazelgrove Amani | 3y B | W Lyons | No form |
Swift Lena emerges as the pick despite a disappointing sixth-place sprint outing two days ago (12 June at D4 distance, a very different proposition). Over the longer 462m A6 trip, the bitch is vastly superior: three wins in the last six races, with victories on 7 June, 28 May and 22 May. Form comments consistently show early advantage (QAw, ALd, EP) and racing to the lead (LdFr entries). The dog’s recent sixth at sprint distance is anomalous; reversion to standard distance should see immediate improvement.
NAP: Swift Lena, Trap 3. This trap has delivered for the dog before and offers the track advantage (33 per cent strike rate). Grumpy Adagio is a minor threat with a recent win, but Swift Lena’s track record at A6 over 462m is superior, and the form reversal after a short-distance blip favours a confident punt.
