Monmore Wednesday 29 April 2026: Racing Tips
Monmore Green in Wolverhampton hosts a 12-race card on Wednesday 29 April, with the first race at 11:03 and the final at 14:04. This West Midlands venue is known for its varied midweek fixture, offering solid betting opportunities across mixed grades on its sand surface.
11:19 Race, A5, 480m
Runners:
- Trap 1: Moorstown Brae (C Fereday)
- Trap 2: Aero Bang Bang (R Taberner)
- Trap 3: Ballintemple Inn (M J Russell)
- Trap 5: Do Gooder (K Billingham-Hine)
- Trap 6: Bundoran (C Jones)
Aero Bang Bang comes in red-hot form. The R Taberner trained bitch won on 20 April from Trap 2 (odds 2.00), and has delivered three placed finishes in her last five outings at A6 grade. More impressively, she has won twice from Trap 2 at Monmore in recent weeks, showing consistency and an affinity for this track and trap position. Moorstown Brae won from Trap 1 on 17 February but has not found the frame since, recording three thirds across A5 company. Ballintemple Inn is a short-priced runner showing mixed form with a 2nd on 21 April but flanked by several midfield efforts.
NAP: Aero Bang Bang, Trap 2. Recent form is sharp, and she has proven herself at this grade and track. Forecast appeal is strong given her consistent placing record.
12:59 Race, A4, 480m
Runners:
- Trap 1: Patoka (J B Thompson)
- Trap 2: Aero Brooke (R Taberner)
- Trap 3: Getup Me Ava (N Hunt)
- Trap 5: Aero Cobra (R Taberner)
- Trap 6: Bang On Sully (N Hunt)
Patoka has won one in his last five outings (30 March from Trap 1) and posted a 4th place finish most recently from Trap 1 on 21 April. However, his recent form reads 44541, showing three fourth-place finishes across A3 and A4 company. He looks vulnerable in this spot. Aero Brooke, also trained by R Taberner, showed early promise with a 3rd place on 18 April (odds 2.10) from Trap 1 but subsequently finished 5th at Sheffield and has since struggled with missed breaks. Getup Me Ava is a young runner (1 year old) with limited recent Monmore form, showing a last-place finish on 19 March. Both Aero Cobra and Bang On Sully carry no recent form data and present limited betting appeal.
NAP: Patoka, Trap 1. Despite patchy recent form, he has recorded a recent win at this track and grade from Trap 1, and offers value in a moderately competitive A4 field. His trap position on the rails at 480m on Monmore's sand surface offers no major disadvantage.
13:16 Race, A7, 480m
Runners:
- Trap 1: Anglesey Rebel (N Hunt)
- Trap 2: Im A Diva (K Billingham-Hine)
- Trap 3: Peejaythedeejay (J B Thompson)
- Trap 4: Aero Maisie (R Taberner)
- Trap 5: Sugar Girl Dotty (C Fereday)
- Trap 6: Swoop Swoop (C Marston)
Anglesey Rebel is a young bitch (1 year old) showing solid consistency in recent outings. She finished 3rd on 25 April from Trap 1 at A7 level (odds 4.00) and has recorded three third-place finishes in her last five runs across A6 and A7 grades. Im A Diva has recorded a recent 2nd place from Trap 1 on 22 April (odds 3.75) at A7, though earlier form shows a last-place finish over 630m in February and patchy results thereafter. Peejaythedeejay has posted five consecutive midfield finishes and appears to be struggling in this higher company. Aero Maisie, Sugar Girl Dotty, and Swoop Swoop all carry unexposed or limited recent data at this grade.
NAP: Anglesey Rebel, Trap 1. Youth and consistency are her strengths; three thirds in recent A6/A7 company suggests a dog improving into this grade. Trap 1 suits middle-distance runners on Monmore sand.
13:31 Race, A8, 480m
Runners:
- Trap 1: Swift Nyah (C Fereday)
- Trap 2: Winterfield Nina (C Jones)
- Trap 3: Aero Swarm (R Taberner)
- Trap 4: Blarney Castle (C Jones)
- Trap 5: Suave Echo (P Curtin)
- Trap 6: Angleseyparadise (N Hunt)
Swift Nyah won decisively on 18 April from Trap 1 at A9 level (odds 2.38) but has otherwise posted mixed results in A8 company with a 2nd place and three fifth-place finishes in the preceding four runs. Winterfield Nina is an interesting prospect, having won twice in her last three outings: a win on 4 April at A9 and another on 30 March at A10. Her recent form reads 11341, indicating upward trajectory, though she is young (1 year old) and unexposed at this exact grade. Aero Swarm (R Taberner) has recorded two wins and two thirds in her last five outings, including a dominant win on 23 March from Trap 2 at A10. She is the most consistent performer here and has proven form at slightly higher grades.
NAP: Aero Swarm, Trap 3. Her form string (13541) in recent A8-A10 company is strongest in the field. Two recent wins and consistent placing show a dog in good health. R Taberner's runners are firing throughout this card.
Meeting Overview
Monmore's Wednesday card spans A4 through A8 grades, all contested at the standard 480m distance. This mid-week fixture offers steady betting interest without the volatility of sprint-heavy or puppy cards.

Punters' Note
Check starting prices with Betfair, Bet365, SkyBet, or William Hill from 10 minutes before each race. Greyhound racing odds firm up quickly on these platforms. Forecast markets (1st and 2nd in order) offer excellent value on A7 and A8 races where fields are competitive but not heavily backed. Reverse forecasts are also popular and worth exploring in the lower grades where upset potential is higher. Standard win and place bets will yield the tightest odds, but track specialists often find value in forecast accumulators across the card.
