Nottingham Greyhound Tips – 27 May 2026

Nottingham’s Colwick Park serves up ten races on Wednesday with the first of the day at 11:25. This established Midlands venue offers solid competitive racing across the card, with all distances set at the standard 500m trip.

11:41 – Grade A1 500m

The opening feature brings A1 standard racing and includes some dogs with recent Nottingham form. Loxleys Forest, drawn in Trap 2, has shown inconsistency in recent outings at Towcester but does hold a pair of A1 wins at this track from March and April. The dog led from the middle stages to success on 27 March and again on 5 April, both times running from Trap 2. However, recent form at Towcester (6th and 4th) raises concerns about current sharpness.

Aghaburren Don in Trap 3 presents a more compelling case. This two-year-old has won twice at Nottingham in A1 company across May, including a dominant performance on 8 May when carded from Trap 2 and leading from the second bend. The dog’s form string reads 11541 across recent starts, showing three wins in the last five races. Trap 3 sits in the middle of the field and while Nottingham’s trap data shows Trap 1 holds a 22% strike rate at this distance, Trap 3 sits at a respectable 19%. Given Aghaburren Don’s proven recent form at this venue and grade, the dog represents the safest play in this race.

NAP: Aghaburren Don, Trap 3.

13:52 – Grade A2 500m

The card’s closing race features A2 grading and several runners with Nottingham experience. Ballybrazil Ace drew Trap 1 and has shown recent promise in A2 and A3 company at this track. The dog’s form across five recent starts reads 34134, with a recent win from Trap 1 on 20 May over A3 opposition. Trap 1 is the standout trap at Nottingham for this distance, posting a 22% strike rate, and Ballybrazil Ace has delivered from that draw.

Aegean Song, a young bitch in Trap 3, has also impressed locally with two wins from her last three races. The dog won at A4 level on 8 May and stepped up to A3 to win again on 18 May. However, a DNF on 24 April is a concern flag. Aegean Song’s early pace (marked as EP in comments) suggests the dog enjoys prominent positioning, and Trap 3 offers room to capitalise on early speed without the congestion sometimes seen in the inside draws.

NAP: Ballybrazil Ace, Trap 1.

13:06 – Grade A3 500m

This A3 contest includes Crafty Coco in Trap 2, a bitch with an excellent recent record. The dog has won three of five starts, including two wins at this track over shorter distance races (305m sprints) and a powerful victory at A4 level on 8 May (500m) by three lengths. Form reads 11414, demonstrating consistency. Crafty Coco holds early pace and leads from the front (SnLd entries in comments), which suits the 500m trip at Nottingham.

Blue Danube, drawn in Trap 3, presents a rival. The two-year-old won on 14 May and 29 April at this grade and distance, showing form of 14151. However, the dog’s A3 record includes a 5th on 7 May and a recent 4th on 20 May, suggesting inconsistency.

Stellas Charm in Trap 1 is a young bitch unexposed at A3 level on 500m, though recent form over 630m at Monmore shows ability (including a win on 16 April). The dog’s last A3 run produced a 2nd on 21 May but form is less established at this grade and distance combination.

NAP: Crafty Coco, Trap 2.

12:48 – Grade A5 500m

Bene N Hot, a four-year-old bitch in Trap 3, dominates the recent form sheet at this level. The dog has won three of the last four races, most recently claiming victory on 21 May at A6 level and again on 15 May at A7. Form reads 11151 across five starts, showing a dog in excellent current form. Bene N Hot leads races from the outset and maintains advantage through to the line. Trap 3 sits at 19% strike rate at this distance, which is respectable if not elite.

Cooliodolly in Trap 2 showed near-the-line finish on 20 May, going down by a half-length at odds of 1.80, indicating the dog is competitive at A5 level. However, Bene N Hot’s consistency and win rate over the same recent period make the older bitch the standout choice in this field.

NAP: Bene N Hot, Trap 3.

Meeting Overview

Wednesday’s card features solid A-grade racing across all ten races, concentrated at 500m. Dogs drawn in Trap 1 and Trap 4 have shown statistical strength over the last 60 days, though individual form and track experience remain paramount. Most races carry a mix of A1 to A5 grading, offering mid-range competitive racing typical of a midweek Nottingham fixture.

Punters’ Note

Check starting prices close to race time as odds firm within 15 minutes of the off. Betfair, Bet365 and William Hill carry the strongest greyhound markets. Forecast betting is popular at Nottingham, offering value when backing two dogs in exact finishing order, particularly in the feature races where field sizes tend to be four to six runners. Early each-way style punting is less standard in greyhound racing given typical field sizes, but combination bets across multiple races work well on cards like this.
