Monmore Greyhound Tips: Monday 27 April 2026

Monmore Green in Wolverhampton hosts a 12-race card on Monday 27 April, with the first race at 14:23 and the meeting concluding at 17:49. This West Midlands venue offers a varied programme with consistent evening attendance, and the sand surface provides reliable racing conditions across all grades.

Race 1: 14:23 – A5 Grade, 480m

Runners:

• Trap 1: Ohtherejet (D, 1y, R Taberner) – Form: 44143
• Trap 2: Don Rico (D, 3y, J B Thompson) – Form: 11213
• Trap 3: Hollywell Mave (B, 3y, P Cowdrill) – Form: 11616
• Trap 4: Batmans Gift (D, 2y, K Billingham-Hine) – Limited data available
• Trap 5: The Other Cruz (D, 2y, K Billingham-Hine) – Limited data available

NAP: Don Rico, Trap 2. This 3-year-old has won three of his last five starts at this track and grade, including a rails-led victory from Trap 1 on 7 April at A6 level. His form string reads 11213, showing consistent winning pedigree. The 1-length win on 25 March and 1.5-length success on 7 April demonstrate class and reliability. Trap 2 is ideal for rails runners at Monmore’s 480m, and Don Rico’s quick-away profile suits the middle gates perfectly on a sand surface.

Race 2: 15:19 – A4 Grade, 480m

Runners:

• Trap 1: Sparta Kingdom (D, 2y, J B Thompson) – Form: 23252
• Trap 2: Aero Tempo (B, 2y, R Taberner) – Form: 46163
• Trap 3: Newinn Rex (D, 1y, J Walton) – Form: 42646
• Trap 4: Economicalreason (B, 1y, K Billingham-Hine) – Limited data available
• Trap 5: Ruinthelonggame (D, 2y, G A Griffiths) – Limited data available
• Trap 6: Bang On Molly (B, 3y, N Hunt) – Limited data available

NAP: Sparta Kingdom, Trap 1. This 2-year-old shows consecutive placings at A3 and A4 level, with a recent second-place finish just 0.75 lengths behind the winner on 21 April. The form 23252 reveals a dog hitting his stride: second on 21 April at A4, third on 13 April at A3, and two previous seconds. His rails-running style has worked effectively in recent starts. Trap 1 at Monmore 480m suits frontrunners and early-pace types, giving Sparta Kingdom platform to utilise his proven close-finishing ability.

Race 3: 16:16 – A6 Grade, 480m

Runners:

• Trap 1: Coppice Tatiana (B, 3y, N Hunt) – Form: 54545
• Trap 2: Bloos Boy Kerry (D, 4y, J B Thompson) – Form: 21221
• Trap 3: Aero Vigil (D, 1y, R Taberner) – Form: 44315
• Trap 4: Newinn Velvet (B, 1y, K Billingham-Hine) – Limited data available
• Trap 5: Paradise Gomez (B, 2y, G A Griffiths) – Limited data available
• Trap 6: Swift Depend (D, 2y, A Jenkins) – Limited data available

NAP: Bloos Boy Kerry, Trap 2. This 4-year-old veteran posts a sparkling form line of 21221, with two recent wins and three placings across his last five starts. His 20 April outing saw a narrow defeat (shadow) at A6 with a quick-away rails run, followed by a similar second at A5 on 11 April. The 18 March win by a shade confirms his finishing strength, and his pattern of leading narrowly into the final stages suits the Monmore 480m trip perfectly. Trap 2 offers ideal positioning for a rails-track operator.

Race 4: 17:31 – A3 Grade, 480m (Feature)

Runners:

• Trap 1: Relentless I Am (D, 2y, A Jenkins) – Form: 35252
• Trap 2: Sugar Hijackr (D, 2y, K Billingham-Hine) – Form: 24364
• Trap 3: Kingoftheroad (D, 2y, J Walton) – Form: 12111
• Trap 4: Deal For Two (B, 2y, G A Griffiths) – Limited data available
• Trap 5: Aero Leg It (B, 2y, R Taberner) – Limited data available

NAP: Kingoftheroad, Trap 3. This is the day’s standout pick. Kingoftheroad’s form string reads 12111, an exceptional recent run that includes two consecutive A4 victories and three wins in five runs. The 21 April victory at A4 came decisively by 0.75 lengths from the mid-track line, with a powerful closing effort. His 14 April second was a shadow away from the leader at the same grade. The 8 April win at A5 showed he can win from Trap 3 and handle mid-track running. At A3 level, he is proven over the trip and trap bias strongly favours middle gates at Monmore 480m, where he can use his powerful closing power to good effect.

Meeting Overview

Monmore’s full 12-race card spans A3 through A7 grades at the standard 480m trip, with some earlier races featuring sprint work (264m) for specialist dogs. The afternoon and evening structure suits both local punters and online players. Form patterns suggest competitive middle-grade racing with genuine winning chances for dogs showing recent consistency and trap-to-trip suitability.

Punters’ Note

Check Starting Prices 15-20 minutes before each race on Betfair, Bet365, SkyBet, and William Hill, the primary UK greyhound bookmakers. Forecast markets (1st and 2nd in order) often carry strong value at Monmore, especially in the lower grades where field sizes are predictable at six runners. Sand surface racing rewards dogs with proven recent form and track-specific experience, so focus on dogs with multiple Monmore runs listed.
