Nottingham Greyhound Tips – 13 May 2026

Nottingham’s Colwick Park hosts ten races on Wednesday, with the first off at 11:25 and the card concluding at 13:52. This established Midlands venue runs exclusively on sand, and today’s feature races sit at A2 and A3 grade across the 500m trip, offering solid betting angles for midweek punters.

11:25 – Grade A5 500m

Missouri Dove has been consistently placed in this A5 grade, finishing 2nd by just a length six days ago at Nottingham in trap 1. The recent form string shows three placings in the last four runs, with a clear pattern of leading early (Ld2-3) before being crowded late (Crd3). Trap 1 has recorded 22% win rate over the past seven days at this track and distance, the strongest of all traps, and Missouri Dove suits that inside berth with her front-running tactics. At 3 years old, she has the experience to convert this form into a win. NAP: Missouri Dove, Trap 1.

11:58 – Grade A4 500m

Swift Lama returned to winning form just six days ago with a victory at A5, moving up to A4 today. The recent win came with a crowded run into bend three (Crd3) before leading and running on (LdRnIn). She has shown pace and consistency across five recent runs, with three placings in the last four. Trap 2 offers a balanced position for a dog of her pace profile, and the upgrade to A4 competition at Nottingham should suit her improving trajectory. NAP: Swift Lama, Trap 2.

12:48 – Grade A2 500m

Skyfall Orna has been running in open company and stepped up to A2 grade with a respectable second by a neck on 10 April, before taking an open-race third four days ago. A 2-year-old bitch trained by E Driver, she has shown genuine competitive form across six weeks. The latest runs indicate she settles well in mid-field (Mid) before making late challenges (Ld2-NrLn). From trap 4, which records 21% win rate at Nottingham 500m, she can avoid early congestion on the bend and make her typical mid-race progress. NAP: Skyfall Orna, Trap 4.

13:21 – Grade A3 500m

Honour Secret, a 1-year-old bitch trained by A S McPherson, won decisively five days ago at A4 grade with a quick getaway and clear lead (EP, ALd, Rls-Mid). She has now posted two wins in her last four runs and is stepping up one grade to A3 at just 1 year of age, indicating strong progression. From trap 2, she has the early pace to press forward immediately and sustain that advantage through the middle stages. Her two most recent wins both feature early dominance and middle-ground racing, a profile that translates well to this slightly higher grade. NAP: Honour Secret, Trap 2.

Meeting Overview

The card spans grades A5 through A2, offering a mix of competitive middle-tier racing. All feature races are contested over 500m on Nottingham’s sand surface. Trap bias data shows trap 1 holds a notable advantage (22%), with traps 2, 3, and 4 clustered between 19-21%. Trap 5 is notably weak at just 8%, so dogs drawn there face a structural disadvantage in the middle of the card.
