Monmore Greyhound Tips – 19 May 2026
Monmore Green hosts a 12-race card on Tuesday afternoon and evening, with the action starting at 14:31. This popular West Midlands venue offers a varied programme across the grades, and trap bias data from recent 480m racing shows Trap 3 commanding a 25% strike rate over the last seven days.
14:31 – Grade A8, 480m
| Trap | Dog | Age | Trainer | Last 3 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Aero Compact | 1y D | R Taberner | 322 |
| 2 | Longrange Rio | 2y D | C Jones | 652 |
| 3 | Amka Raven | 2y B | N Hunt | 531 |
| 4 | Final Sydney | 4y D | P Curtin | No form |
| 6 | Suave Echo | 2y D | P Curtin | No form |
The opening race features Aero Compact in Trap 1, a young dog with three recent outings at A8 level showing solid consistency. Most recently on 11 May, Aero Compact finished third at this track and grade, just 1.25 lengths off the pace after taking the rails and running even in the closing stages. Earlier efforts in late April delivered a winning performance at A9 (1 April) and a pair of runner-up finishes, suggesting the dog has the engine for this grade. Longrange Rio in Trap 2 carries mixed form: a hat-trick of A8 runs in April produced a close second (22 April, head in hand) and two poor efforts, while a recent sprint outing on 9 May saw the dog finish last. Amka Raven, Trap 3, owns a recent A8 win (22 April, held on in the middle) but has struggled in A7 company since, posting two fifth-place finishes. The middle-trap bias at Monmore (Trap 3: 25%) favours runners avoiding early congestion.
NAP: Aero Compact, Trap 1. This young dog has proven sharp away and consistent at A8, with two runner-up finishes and a win at A9 in recent weeks. The rails draw suits the running style, and recent form (3rd on 11 May) suggests readiness to step up into victory at this lower grade.
15:27 – Grade A7, 480m
| Trap | Dog | Age | Trainer | Last 3 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Vixons Matt | 2y D | J B Thompson | 224 |
| 2 | Kilmalloo Biddy | 2y B | C Marston | 321 |
| 3 | Newinn Velvet | 1y B | K Billingham-Hine | 646 |
| 4 | Plaza Toni | 4y D | C Marston | No form |
| 5 | Aero Maisie | 1y B | R Taberner | No form |
Vixons Matt in Trap 1 has shown admirable consistency around Monmore, finishing second in back-to-back A7 outings (6 May and 25 April), each time just a head or shadow away. The dog takes the rails and leads through to near the line on both occasions. However, earlier form at A6 and A5 shows a marked drop-off, suggesting the dog may be at the ceiling of its current ability. Kilmalloo Biddy, Trap 2, presents a stronger profile: the bitch is trained by C Marston and arrives from Sheffield with a recent A2 win (3 April, quick away and always led), plus a pair of A3 victories earlier. At 2 years old, Kilmalloo Biddy is unexposed at A7 but carries elite-level form and should adapt well to Monmore’s 480m. Newinn Velvet, Trap 3, is only 1 year old and shows volatile recent form: a win at A7 (18 April, early pace and led from two) is offset by four poor outings in May, including a recent sixth at A6 (12 May). The young bitch has quality but lacks consistency.
NAP: Kilmalloo Biddy, Trap 2. This bitch brings Sheffield A2 and A3 winning form to Monmore and should prove too strong for an A7 field at this trip. The trap draw is neutral, but the dog’s quick away and always-led profile at the higher grades suggests a clear margin over this field.
15:47 – Grade A8, 480m
| Trap | Dog | Age | Trainer | Last 3 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Got Me Eyesss | 4y D | P Curtin | 543 |
| 2 | Deelish Lola | 1y B | P Cowdrill | 214 |
| 3 | Cazzers Lass | 3y B | C Marston | 252 |
| 4 | Crafty Techno | 2y D | P Cowdrill | No form |
| 6 | Cazzers Ellie | 3y B | C Marston | No form |
Got Me Eyesss, Trap 1, is a 4-year-old with A7 form from the last three weeks but carrying some concern: recent outings show a missed break (12 May), heavy crowding (4 May), and finishes between third and fifth. The rails often trigger early contact at Monmore for a slower-away runner. Deelish Lola, Trap 2, is only 1 year old and shows rapid progression: a win at A10 (4 May) and second at A8 (12 May) demonstrate upward trajectory. The bitch carries early pace and middle running style, and the trap draw avoids heavy early traffic. Cazzers Lass, Trap 3, is 3 years old with A7 form across May: a second on 12 May (very quick away, middle, led at four) shows she can compete here, but two prior A7 runs saw finishes of 5th and 6th. Trap 3 bias is strong at 25%, favouring her racing style.
NAP: Deelish Lola, Trap 2. This young bitch has momentum, winning at A10 just two weeks ago and running a close second at A8 most recently (12 May). The early pace and closing ability suit 480m, and the upward form curve suggests a ready-made winner in this field.
17:57 – Grade A8, 480m
| Trap | Dog | Age | Trainer | Last 3 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Seven Kisses | 4y B | K Billingham-Hine | 424 |
| 2 | Longrange Comet | 1y D | C Jones | 154 |
| 3 | Yankee Tipp | 3y D | C Fereday | 234 |
| 4 | Swift Jam | 1y B | P Cowdrill | No form |
| 6 | Angleseyparadise | 2y B | N Hunt | No form |
Longrange Comet, Trap 2, is a 1-year-old with a recent A9 win (11 May, quick away, rails, always led) and promising profile. However, form before that shows a missed break at A9 (25 April) and poor A9 finishes in late April, alongside a last-place sprint run on 5 May. The consistency is not yet proven. Yankee Tipp, Trap 3, is 3 years old and shows recent A8 form with a close second (9 May, early pace, middle, led at three) and two A7 outings in April. The middle-running style and Trap 3 bias (25%) align well. Seven Kisses, Trap 1, a 4-year-old, has not raced at this grade or trip in recent weeks; the form is older (December 2025 to January 2026), featuring S3 (630m staying) races and mixed results. At 480m flat, the profile is unclear.
NAP: Longrange Comet, Trap 2. The recent A9 win (11 May) shows sharp early pace and rails ability; the younger dog has an advantage in pace-dependent A8 company and should settle better at this trip than staying-focused older rivals.
Punters should check the Starting Price at the track from around 30 minutes before each race. Monmore races are well-covered by Betfair, Bet365, William Hill and SkyBet.
