Kinsley Greyhound Tips – 28 May 2026

Kinsley Greyhound Stadium, the compact West Yorkshire venue in Hemsworth, hosts a 12-race card on Thursday with the first race at 11:14. The sand surface and tight circuit create distinct trap biases that punters should monitor closely throughout the day.

11:30 – Grade A5 462m

Knotmor Oscar has shown strong recent form at this grade and distance. The 1-year-old won at A6 level on 30 April and 7 May, demonstrating consistency over the 462m trip. His most recent run on 21 May saw him finish fifth after a slow away, but that was a minor blip in otherwise solid form. Trap 1 statistically carries a 24% strike rate on this distance at Kinsley, but Oscar’s two recent wins came from Traps 1 and 2, indicating he handles his draw well. He has shown quick starts and leadership ability (LdFr1 noted on 30 April), which suits the earlier stages of a 462m race. NAP: Knotmor Oscar, Trap 1.

Kilmaloo Suzi is equally interesting as a forecast alternative. The 1-year-old female has won three of her last five races and posted back-to-back 462m wins on 4 May and 18 May. Her form string (11515) is strong, and from Trap 2 she benefits from a 10% strike rate at this distance – lower than Trap 3 (33%), but her quality of opposition has been lighter. Watch for forecast value pairing Oscar with Suzi.

11:46 – Grade A4 462m

Swift Remi tops the ratings here. The 2-year-old male won at A4 level on 7 May from Trap 1 and has finished 2nd, 4th, 3rd, and 1st in his last five outings (form: 24311 reading left to right). His win came with front-running tactics (QAw, Ld-2&LdFr3), proving he can handle early pressure and maintain a lead. His 7 May victory margin of three-quarters of a length shows genuine competitiveness at this grade. Most recent form on 24 May (2nd, by 5¾) suggests he remains sharp. Trap 1 shows 24% win rate on 462m at Kinsley. NAP: Swift Remi, Trap 1.

Mineola Topman must be respected on recent form. The 3-year-old won at A5 on 22 May from Trap 4 and finished 2nd at the same grade on 17 May (form: 42124). However, he is stepping up to A4 and has only raced A5 and higher-grade hurdle races. From Trap 3 he enjoys the track’s best trap bias at 33%, which is significant. Watch for forecast opportunities if he settles into the race well.

12:20 – Grade A4 462m

Senahel Scorpion is the standout pick. The 2-year-old male has won twice in his last five races and posted form of 12521 (most recent right). His two wins came on 30 April (by 3¼) and 24 April (by ½), both from Trap 2. His most recent second on 21 May was a nose-margin loss, indicating competitive fitness. He holds wins at A4 grade specifically and has competed at A3. From Trap 1 (24% strike rate), Scorpion will need a clean break, but his early-race ability and proven A4 wins make him the clear choice here. NAP: Senahel Scorpion, Trap 1.

Grumpy Kevin shows mixed recent form (52165) but did win at A5 on 14 May. His 21 May run from Trap 3 ended in a 5th-place finish, and he has shown crowding and checking issues in several outings. The step up to A4 may prove challenging.

13:41 – Grade A5 462m

Lantern Bright appears the strongest contender. The 1-year-old female posted an impressive win at A6 on 21 May from Trap 4 and has finished 2nd, 6th, 2nd, and 6th in her previous four runs (form: 16232). The 21 May victory came with excellent pace indicators (VQAw, ALd), showing she can dictate from an early stage. From Trap 3, she sits in the favoured 33% strike-rate zone at Kinsley over 462m. Her recent win demonstrates she can rise through the grades competitively. NAP: Lantern Bright, Trap 3.

Grumpy Turnip holds recent 2nd-place finishes and a head-margin defeat in a hurdle race on 11 May, but her last 462m outing on 21 May saw her finish 6th with an ease note, suggesting she may be losing momentum slightly.

Meeting Overview

The 12-race card spans A4 and A5 grades on the feature races, with all contests run over the standard 462m distance on sand. No staying or sprint races are featured. Trap 3 dominates the bias data at 33%, making middle-draw runners consistently competitive throughout the afternoon.

Punters’ Note

Check starting prices 15 minutes before each race when the market firms. Betfair and Bet365 are reliable for Kinsley greyhound racing, with competitive SP markets. Given six-runner fields, forecast and reverse forecast markets offer better value than each-way betting. Form reading is critical at A4-A5 level, where recent wins at grade carry significant weight. Track bias heavily favours Trap 3 on the 462m trip, so consider backing runners from that draw when form permits.
