Kinsley Greyhound Tips – Monday, 18 May 2026

Kinsley Greyhound Stadium in Hemsworth plays host to a 12-race card on Monday evening, with the first race at 18:08 and the finale at 21:16. This compact West Yorkshire venue is a regular fixture on the GBGB circuit, and tonight’s card features four feature races at 462m across A5 and A6 grades.

18:42 – Grade A5 462m

A competitive A5 clash with several dogs in or around form. Billionaire Vic has the standout recent record: a dominant win at Trap 3 on 11 May by half a length, preceded by form struggles including a fall on 23 April. However, the dog’s A5 credentials are solid, and Trap 3 is the premium draw at Kinsley 462m – live data shows Trap 3 has won 33 per cent of races over this distance and trip in the past seven days, well clear of rivals. The trainer J Hurst has a strong record with this runner.

Southwind Twirl (Trap 2) is a promising young bitch trained by W Lyons with back-to-back wins on 7 and 11 May in A6/A7 grades, but she has limited experience at A5 level and Trap 2 sits at just 10 per cent strike rate here. Slanestown Cindy (Trap 1) shows mixed form with three placings in five recent runs at A5, but has no recent wins and Trap 1, despite a 24 per cent win rate, can suffer early congestion on tighter tracks.

NAP: Billionaire Vic, Trap 3. Form and trap bias align perfectly; forecast markets offer good value with this dog likely to be at single-figure odds.

19:49 – Grade A5 462m

Laid Back emerges as the standout runner here. The 3-year-old dog has won two of his last four races and recorded a convincing 462m victory on 7 May from Trap 4 by half a length at A6 level. He followed that with a respectable third on 14 May in A5 company, showing his form is genuine. While tonight he draws Trap 3 (the hot bias at Kinsley), his recent A5 credentials and proven ability at 462m make him the standout selection.

Pounda Prisna (Trap 2) is a 5-year-old bitch with two wins in her last five races, including victories on 9 and 16 April at A6 level. However, her most recent run on 11 May saw her finish fourth in an HP (handicap) race, suggesting current form has dipped. Grumpy Abbey (Trap 1) showed promise with a win on 6 April but has recorded only mid-field finishes since, with three consecutive fourth and fifth-place finishes. Dogs without form data (Darver Pigeon, Deecee Phoenix, Hazelgrove Pearl) are unexposed at this grade and carry risk.

NAP: Laid Back, Trap 3. Recent A5 win combined with Trap 3’s 33 per cent strike rate provides strong foundations; look for reverse forecast value with Pounda Prisna.

20:59 – Grade A6 462m

Eagles Magic is the clear form horse here. The 2-year-old dog has won three of his last five races, including victories on 11 May (A6 by 1.25 lengths), 4 May (HP grade by 1.25 lengths), and 24 April (D4 268m by a shadow). His recent consistency is exceptional and he proved equally comfortable in sprint (268m) and middle-distance (462m) company. Tonight from Trap 3, he benefits from the premier draw bias at Kinsley (33 per cent win rate), making this a strong combination.

Kilmaloo Suzi (Trap 2) is a promising 1-year-old with two wins in five recent races, including a 462m victory on 4 May at A6 level. Her form is solid but she sits at Trap 2, which records only a 10 per cent win rate at this track. Crystal Ranger (Trap 1) has not won in five recent runs, including only third-place finishes in his last three outings – he appears out of form. Dogs without recent data (Grumpy Mia, Norden Girl, Monbeg Shark) present limited opportunity.

NAP: Eagles Magic, Trap 3. Back-to-back wins in recent weeks combined with proven middle-distance comfort and premium trap draw make this the standout play; forecast combinations with Kilmaloo Suzi are worth exploring.

21:16 – Grade A6 462m

Beaming Moscato delivers the most recent and impressive form on tonight’s card. The 1-year-old bitch recorded a dominant win on 14 May (A6 by a head) from Trap 3, and this represents a strong recent run. She showed versatility across sprint and longer trips, with a win on 24 April at 462m HP grade, though she did encounter trouble in two middle races. Trap 3 again offers the superior draw advantage (33 per cent strike rate), and the combination of recent form and optimal trap position is compelling.

Highview Arrow (Trap 1) has not won in five recent outings and recorded a defeat at a lower A6 grade on 14 May, suggesting current form is moderate despite a win on 17 April. Hazelgrove Dusk (Trap 2) shows a series of minor placings (three thirds in four recent races) but no wins, with Trap 2 offering only marginal draw advantage. Dogs without form data (Cotswold Prince, Russanda Lexi, Twisted Logic) are unexposed and carry uncertainty.

NAP: Beaming Moscato, Trap 3. Most recent winning form at A6 grade combined with premium trap draw creates a clear edge; the dog’s versatility across distances is a secondary positive. Forecast markets with Hazelgrove Dusk offer secondary value.

Meeting Overview

Tonight’s four-race feature selection spans A5 and A6 grades exclusively, with all races at the standard 462m trip. This is a consistent, mid-level card typical of West Yorkshire fixtures. No staying races (630m+) or sprint races are featured, so trip consistency favours horses with proven 462m form. Trap 3 dominance across all four races (33 per cent strike rate) should influence your selections heavily – three of tonight’s four NAP picks draw this premium box.

Punters’ Note

Check starting prices from 30 minutes before each race; odds firm up considerably in the final stages. Betfair and Bet365 offer the sharpest greyhound prices and best liquidity for UK punters. Tonight’s card suits forecast betting more than each-way play – all four feature races have competitive six-runner fields, making win-only selections more profitable. Reverse forecast combinations with second-choice runners offer genuine value, particularly in the 20:59 and 21:16 races where form is more volatile.
