Kinsley Greyhound Tips – Thursday 21 May 2026

Kinsley hosts 12 races on sand surface, with the first at 11:14 and the finale at 14:14. This compact West Yorkshire circuit has produced strong trap bias data over the last 60 days, with Trap 3 dominating the 462m course at 33% strike rate – a significant advantage worth monitoring across the card.

11:30 – Grade A5 462m

Knotmor Oscar has impressed over the past month with two wins from five runs at this grade and distance. His form string reads 51135, and crucially he recorded a winning performance on 30 April in an A6 contest, leading from trap 1 and finishing by 4.75 lengths. He’s drawn trap 1 again here. However, the recent 5-run outing (14 May) saw him UpWithTrps and finish fifth, suggesting he can be caught on the break. The form is solid – three wins in the last five – but Trap 1 at Kinsley has only a 24% strike rate over the sample period, making his inside draw a concern on a circuit where Trap 3 (33%) dominates. Grumpy Turnip, trained by N Langley, offers an alternative with recent second-place finishes and a strong 2-run sequence (11 May second in HP, 15 May second in A5), suggesting he’s right at the business end of races. He’s in Trap 2 (10% win rate), which is tighter, but his consistency is noteworthy. NAP: Knotmor Oscar, Trap 1. He has the form credentials and a recent winning pedigree at this distance despite the trap bias headwind.

12:53 – Grade A4 462m

This is a competitive A4 field. Senahel Scorpion, a 2-year-old trained by D E Fradgley, brings recent A3 experience and a form string of 51213, showing two wins and solid consistency. His last three runs read 213, placing him firmly in contention, and he won at A4 level on 30 April and 24 April (odds 3.00 and 3.75), taking the lead from trap 2 on both occasions. Drawn in Trap 2 again (10% strike rate), he faces the same disadvantage as other inside runners, but his form at this grade is superior. Grumpy Kevin in Trap 3 has a form string of 126652 reading back further – wait, that’s six results: 126652. His last run (14 May) saw him win an A5 race from Trap 3 by 3.75 lengths with a quick away. He then ran second on 7 May, also from Trap 3. Trap 3 is where he thrives (33% at Kinsley), and his recent win is bang in form. However, this is a step up to A4. Ballymac Pria, trained by B Heaton, has form 26346 – a mixed record, though he won on 7 May from Trap 1 at A4. His most recent run (15 May) was a last-place finish. NAP: Senahel Scorpion, Trap 2. His dual A4 wins and A3 experience make him the standout despite the trap draw disadvantage.

13:26 – Grade A6 462m

Grumpy Adagio, a 2-year-old from N Langley’s yard, looks the class act here. His form string is 15252, with a recent win on 15 May (A7, 462m, led from fourth bend, won by 1.5 lengths). Before that, he ran second in a handicap (1.91 odds, led early) on 8 May. He’s been mixing sprint and distance races but has won and placed consistently. He’s drawn Trap 1 (24% strike rate), which is suboptimal, but his form is the strongest in this field. Gurtnacrehy Kobe, a 3-year-old from W Lyons, offers an alternative with form 25164 and a recent second place (14 May) by a head, along with a win on 8 May from Trap 2 at A6. His consistency is notable. Swift Oriental, 1-year-old from J Robinson, has mixed form with a recent fifth (10 May at A6), and the career form shows he’s still learning at distance. NAP: Grumpy Adagio, Trap 1. Recent form and winning profile trump the trap bias here.

13:41 – Grade A6 462m

Glenhead Sydney presents the cleanest form with 24344, showing a recent second place (15 May, 4.33 odds, even champion) and third (10 May) in consecutive A6 races. The dog is consistent and placed in four of the last five runs. Drawn Trap 3 (33% strike rate), he has the track bias advantage. Crystal Jess, trained by T D Coote, has won once in this sequence (13 April at A6) but shows a form string of 44541, suggesting she’s been a bit off the pace recently – four fourth-place finishes in her last five. Highview Dance has form 35355, showing placements but no recent wins, though she has proven experience at A6. NAP: Glenhead Sydney, Trap 3. Trap 3 bias, recent placing form, and consistent A6 record make this the pick.
