Monmore Greyhound Tips | 25 April 2026

Monmore Saturday 25 April 2026: Four-Race Card Tips

Monmore Green hosts a 24-race card on Saturday 25 April 2026, with first race at 11:01 and the final race at 21:50. This West Midlands venue is renowned for its varied evening programmes and competitive sand-surface racing. We have selected four feature races across the card to analyse, with trap bias favourable to inside runners on the short 264m sprint but competitive across all traps on the standard 480m trip.

Race 1: 11:34 | A3 Grade | 480m

Runners: Trap 1: Ballyhealy Star (J B Thompson); Trap 2: Caldera Flow (D J Page); Trap 3: Whisky Man (N Hunt); Trap 4: Tromora Force (C Fereday); Trap 5: Aero Cobra (R Taberner); Trap 6: Bang On Sully (N Hunt).

Ballyhealy Star carries impressive A3 form into this race. The dog won at Monmore on 31 March (Trap 1, A3, 480m) by three-quarters of a length, and earlier won at the same track and grade on 11 April (Trap 2, D1 264m sprint) by two and three-quarter lengths. Most recent run saw a fifth-place finish on 16 April when moved to Trap 2 at A3 and blocked early. The win on 31 March from Trap 1 shows the dog handles that draw well at this distance and class. NAP: Ballyhealy Star, Trap 1. Form, track familiarity, and a proven A3 winning record at Monmore make this the standout pick. Look for value in forecast markets pairing Ballyhealy Star with Whisky Man, who showed competitive form finishing second at this track on 6 April from Trap 3.

Race 2: 20:54 | A4 Grade | 480m

Runners: Trap 1: Bizarre Barry (M J Russell); Trap 2: Longacres Sonny (P Doocey); Trap 3: Datona Vamoose (D J Page); Trap 4: Catchem Flawless (K Billingham-Hine); Trap 5: Boxing Friends (C Fereday); Trap 6: Moanteen Mimi (R Taberner).

Bizarre Barry is a consistent A4 runner with solid form on the board. The dog has placed in the frame (3rd position) in three of its last four runs at Monmore A4 level from Trap 1: 14 April (by three-quarters), 7 April (by one and three-quarter lengths), and 31 March (by one and three-quarter lengths). A break in that sequence came on 14 March when promoted to A5, where Barry won by a short head. This dog is well suited to the A4 grade and Trap 1 produces reliable racing. NAP: Bizarre Barry, Trap 1. Consistent performer at this level with proven Monmore track craft and Trap 1 reliability over recent outings.

Race 3: 21:50 | A4 Grade | 480m

Runners: Trap 1: Phoenix Posh (K Billingham-Hine); Trap 2: Tessy Magic (R Taberner); Trap 3: Wise Tournament (D J Page); Trap 5: Aero Chris (M J Russell); Trap 6: Tree Top Copper (A Jenkins).

Wise Tournament comes in from strong Irish form and shows a winning record abroad. The dog won at Clonmel on 27 February (Trap 5, A4, 480m) by six lengths, and followed that with third place at Kilkenny on 6 February (Trap 6, A3, 480m) and second place on 30 January from the same track and grade. Irish tracks differ from UK sand surfaces, but the winning margin at Clonmel suggests genuine class. Monmore’s 480m track should suit the dog’s middle-ground running style. NAP: Wise Tournament, Trap 3. Strong recent winning form, proven ability at A3-A4 level overseas, and an unexposed profile on UK sand surfaces present good value at SP.

Race 4: 12:42 | A5 Grade | 480m

Runners: Trap 1: Transfer Aaliyah (P Cowdrill); Trap 2: Aero Euphoria (R Taberner); Trap 3: Tromora Diamond (J B Thompson); Trap 4: Lukey Bee (D J Page); Trap 5: Longacres Boycie (P Doocey); Trap 6: Bundoran (C Jones).

Aero Euphoria is a recent winner at this exact level. The dog claimed victory on 14 April at Monmore (Trap 2, A6, 480m) by one and one-quarter lengths, and backed that up with third place on 7 April from Trap 1 (by one and one-quarter lengths). Recent form shows two placings in five runs, with good sectional comments including “Ld4” (led at fourth bend) and “Rls” (rails running line). A5 is slightly stiffer than A6, but the recent winning form and proven Monmore experience give confidence. NAP: Aero Euphoria, Trap 2. Winning form fresh from A6 level, showing stamina over the Monmore 480m distance, and trap 2 consistency support a strong play here.

Meeting Overview

The 24-race card spans A1 through A5 grades across the afternoon and evening, mixed with sprint and staying races across Monmore’s sand surface. The feature races selected target mid-card A3-A5 grades where form is readable and selection angles clear.

Punters’ Note

Starting prices (SP) firm up 10-15 minutes before each race on Betfair, Bet365, SkyBet, and William Hill. Greyhound betting favours forecast (1st and 2nd in order) and reverse forecast markets, particularly on A4-A5 cards where competitive fields produce tighter finishing margins. Check SP close to race time and cross-reference bookmaker odds for the best value on all suggested picks.
