Kinsley Greyhound Racing Tips: Friday 8 May 2026

Kinsley hosts a 12-race card on Friday 8 May, with the first race at 14:29 and the finale at 17:56. This West Yorkshire sand track serves a tight greyhound community and regularly produces competitive A-grade racing across its standard 462m trip.

Race 14:48 (A3, 462m)

Runners:

• Trap 1: Lundhill Ellie (S Oakes) – Form: 6, 6, 3, 1, lame
• Trap 2: Senahel Scorpion (D E Fradgley) – Form: 1, 1, 3, 5, 5
• Trap 3: Coonough Scobie (N Langley) – Form: 1, 2, 5, 6, 6
• Trap 4: Coonough Hughie (S Oakes) – Limited form data
• Trap 5: Killieford Negri (W Lyons) – Limited form data
• Trap 6: Swift Ecology (J Robinson) – Limited form data

Analysis: Senahel Scorpion looks the value here. The young dog has won two of his last three starts at A4 grade, both from Trap 2, leading early and holding on (3.00 and 3.75 odds). He steps up to A3 but carries momentum. Coonough Scobie has also won recently from Trap 3, the strongest trap at Kinsley on this distance (33% win rate over 124 races). However, Scobie’s form is less consistent: a win followed by a close second, then a poor run when moving to Trap 2 (crowded in run). Trap bias strongly favours Trap 3, but Senahel Scorpion’s recent consistency and early-pace profile from Trap 2 make him the safer choice. NAP: Senahel Scorpion, Trap 2. Forecast markets offer value pairing him with Coonough Scobie.

Race 15:07 (A5, 462m)

Runners:

• Trap 1: Chosen Lady (W Lyons) – Form: 1, 6, 4, 2, 4
• Trap 2: Crystal Jess (T D Coote) – Form: 4, 5, 1, 4, 2
• Trap 3: Real Queen (S Smith) – Form: 1, 6, 6, 1, 3
• Trap 4: Swift Office (S Smith) – Limited form data
• Trap 5: Deecee Phoenix (W Lyons) – Limited form data
• Trap 6: Da Man Joey (M May) – Limited form data

Analysis: Real Queen stands out here. The mare won most recently on 26 April from Trap 3 (quick away, all-the-way), and prior to that claimed victory on 29 March from the same trap at A7 grade. Trap 3 is the proven winning draw at Kinsley 462m. Real Queen’s consistent performances in the top three before a dip at A6 suggest she’s suited to holding the lead early. Her form shows quick getaways and racing positively, and Trap 3 is where she thrives. NAP: Real Queen, Trap 3. Consider forecast bets with Chosen Lady (recent A6 winner) as the supporting runner.

Race 16:41 (A6, 462m)

Runners:

• Trap 1: Jennywins (J S Atkins) – Form: 3, 2, 6, 3, 3
• Trap 2: Gurtnacrehy Kobe (W Lyons) – Form: 5, 6, 4, 5, 4
• Trap 3: Swift Perry (J Robinson) – Form: 2, 3, 4, 1, 1
• Trap 4: Jaguar Dettori (J S Atkins) – Limited form data
• Trap 5: Norristown May (W Lyons) – Limited form data
• Trap 6: Swift Paddle (I Zivkovic) – Limited form data

Analysis: Swift Perry is a young prospect with impressive recent form, winning the last two starts from Trap 3 and Trap 4 at D4 distance (268m sprints). Perry has now stepped into A6 class and retains Trap 3, the strongest at Kinsley. However, the recent wins came at sprint distance; the longer 462m trip is untested. Jennywins offers steadier value: a consistent third-placer with two seconds in the last five races, all from Trap 1 and all at A6 grade. The mare shows form figures of 3-2-6-3-3, indicating she battles hard but sometimes lacks the turn of foot to win. Trap 1 is not ideal (24% win rate) but Jennywins’ grade consistency is reassuring. NAP: Jennywins, Trap 1. This is a moderate race; Swift Perry is the longer-term prospect but unproven at the trip.

Race 16:59 (A6, 462m)

Runners:

• Trap 1: Blue Star (I Zivkovic) – Form: 6, 5, 1, 6, 4
• Trap 2: Markstreet Mia (T D Coote) – Form: 3, 6, 4, 2, 1
• Trap 3: Use The Clock (M May) – Form: 3, 4, 2, 3, 5
• Trap 4: Norden Girl (W Lyons) – Limited form data
• Trap 5: Twisted Logic (W Lyons) – Limited form data
• Trap 6: Individual Man (J S Atkins) – Limited form data

Analysis: Blue Star won from Trap 1 just nine days ago (20 April, A6 at 6.00 odds, led from start). The win came early-pace-focused and he held on by 2¾ lengths. Blue Star’s form is mixed (6-5-1-6-4 recent) but the win is fresh and the dog clearly can excel when breaking cleanly. Trap 1 disadvantage (24% win rate) is offset by recent proven victory from the draw. Markstreet Mia has won once in her limited A-grade outings and her best run was a runner-up from Trap 2 (led early, pressured). NAP: Blue Star, Trap 1. The recent win profile is strong and he has demonstrated he can handle this grade and trip.

Meeting Overview

The Friday card spans A3 to A6 grades at 462m, a standard Kinsley profile. Trap 3 dominates across the meeting (33% win rate), appearing in multiple feature races.

Punters’ Note

Forecast and reverse forecast markets are popular on this card due to consistent field sizes. Senahel Scorpion (Race 14:48) is the NAP pick of the day: he combines recent winning form, tactical prowess early, and a trap draw that keeps him competitive. Monitor trap bias data, especially Trap 3’s dominance, and use reverse forecasts to hedge multiple selections across the meeting.
