Monmore Tuesday, 28 April 2026: Four-Race Tips
Monmore Green in Wolverhampton hosts 12 races on Tuesday, 28 April, with the first race at 14:31. This West Midlands venue is known for a varied card and popular evening meetings, with four feature races to analyse across the sand surface.
Race 1: 15:47, Grade A2, 480m
Runners:
- Trap 1: Heres Buddy (D, 3y, C Jones)
- Trap 2: Westway Macho (D, 1y, J B Thompson)
- Trap 3: Aero Advocate (D, 2y, R Taberner)
- Trap 4: Good Maverick (D, 3y, K Billingham-Hine)
- Trap 6: Droopys Jot (B, 1y, G A Griffiths)
Westway Macho shows the strongest recent record at this grade. His last three A2 efforts returned 3rd, 2nd, and 2nd, displaying consistent rails running and early pace (EP, Rls, Ld patterns). The 1-year-old has trapped well from Trap 1 in his recent starts but lines up from Trap 2 here. A recent missed break (MsdBrk) on 11 April is a minor concern, though his form before that was excellent. Aero Advocate won at A1 standard last October but his most recent form is patchy: 6th on 23 April at OR3 after a missed break, and 1st at D4 sprint on 18 April suggests inconsistency across distances. Heres Buddy has won at this track but his last two 480m outings ended 6th (fell at 1/4) and 5th, indicating he may be stepping back in trip. NAP: Westway Macho, Trap 2. Look for each-way value in forecast combinations if Macho settles well from the wider draw.
Race 2: 17:37, Grade A2, 480m
Runners:
- Trap 1: Aero Aidan (D, 2y, R Taberner)
- Trap 2: Beatties Casino (D, 2y, K Billingham-Hine)
- Trap 3: Get In Line (B, 2y, K Billingham-Hine)
- Trap 4: Wilma Rudolph (B, 3y, C Jones)
- Trap 6: Ivy Hill Viper (D, 2y, K Billingham-Hine)
Aero Aidan is in excellent form: won on 13 April (VQAw, Rls, Crd1H, EP, LdOn) and 31 March (VQAw, Rls, ALd) in successive A3/A4 outings. The 2-year-old has trapped cleanly from Trap 1 consistently and shows strong early pace with sustained running. His only recent blip is a 5th at A4 on 9 March after a missed break, but that now sits five races back. Get In Line won at A3 on 21 April from Trap 3 (VQAw, Mid, ALd) and shows middle-trap comfort, but her form before that includes two 6ths from outer traps on sprint distances, suggesting inconsistency. Beatties Casino is dropping back from 630m staying races and shows mixed A2 form with one win at A3. NAP: Aero Aidan, Trap 1. This dog has the recent wins and clean-break pattern required at A2 standard.
Race 3: 17:01, Grade A4, 480m
Runners:
- Trap 1: Swift Arson (D, 2y, A Jenkins)
- Trap 2: Westway Bacchus (D, 2y, J B Thompson)
- Trap 4: Aero Benny (D, 2y, R Taberner)
- Trap 5: Aero Fumi (B, 1y, R Taberner)
- Trap 6: Thru The Roof (D, 3y, K Billingham-Hine)
Westway Bacchus has two recent wins at A5 (21 April, VQAw, Rls, ALd; and prior run 3rd) and is moving up a grade. The 2-year-old shows very quick away (VQAw) and consistent rails running with early advantage. Swift Arson also won at A5 level (4 April, QAw, Rls, ALd) and has been competitive at A4, with a recent 2nd on 21 April (QAw, Rls, Ld-NrLn). Both dogs show trap 1 affinity and early pace strength. Aero Benny won at A5 on 11 April from Trap 4 (SAw, Mid, Ld3, RnOn) but has struggled on wider traps and at OR3 distance. Bacchus’s upgrade coupled with his very clean break pattern makes him the standout. NAP: Westway Bacchus, Trap 2. This runner combines recent A5 wins with strong early form.
Race 4: 16:04, Grade A5, 480m
Runners:
- Trap 1: Dapper Danica (B, 2y, J B Thompson)
- Trap 2: Vixons Eggshell (D, 1y, J B Thompson)
- Trap 3: Aero Clipper (B, 1y, R Taberner)
- Trap 4: Don Choo Maddie (B, 2y, M J Russell)
- Trap 5: Aero Immoral (D, 1y, R Taberner)
Aero Clipper has a strong recent run at A5: won 26 March (EP, Mid, Crd1, LdRnUp) and shows three consecutive A5 placings (3rd, 3rd, 2nd) with middle-trap consistency. This 1-year-old bitches shows better form data than Dapper Danica, whose last three runs include a 4th, 3rd, and 5th with crowding issues. Vixons Eggshell is limited and unexposed at A5 with a 6th on 13 April after a stumble. NAP: Aero Clipper, Trap 3. Recent A5 form and middle-trap experience are decisive here.
Meeting Overview
The card is dominated by A2-A5 grades, all run at the standard 480m trip. No sprint or staying races feature in the selection. A competitive afternoon suited to conventional 480m racing style.
