Nottingham Greyhound Tips – 28 May 2026

Nottingham’s Colwick Park hosts ten races on Thursday afternoon, with the first race at 11:25 and the final at 13:52. This is a competitive sand-surface card featuring A2 and A3 graded racing, typical of the Midlands’ established greyhound venue.

11:58 – Grade A2 500m

Hinault Mcrow looks the standout in this A2 affair. The four-year-old has shown consistent form at Nottingham, winning here on 20 April and securing a second place by a shade on 27 April before two recent thirds. His most recent outing on 22 May saw him finish fourth but leading into the third bend before the field closed down. Trap 1 has been the strongest draw at Nottingham’s 500m in recent weeks, recording a 22% win strike across 161 races. Hinault Mcrow’s racing pattern of early pace and leadership (EP, Ld1 noted) suits the inside berth perfectly. NAP: Hinault Mcrow, Trap 1. Monitor forecast markets for value pairing him with Monbeg Bella, who showed promise with a win at A3 distance on 6 May.

12:31 – Grade A3 500m

Invincia Jet presents excellent form credentials for this A3 contest. The three-year-old male has recorded two placings in his last three runs, finishing second to odds of 4.33 on 15 May and third most recently on 21 May. Most tellingly, he struck gold on 22 April with a commanding four-length victory from trap 3 at this very grade. His racing style combines early carding with mid-race pace (Crd&Ld1 noted), which has worked consistently at Nottingham. Trap 3 maintains a solid 19% win rate on the sand here. NAP: Invincia Jet, Trap 3. Honour Mission offers each-way appeal, with four consecutive placings (two by a narrow margin) at A3, though her recent outing showed a significant loss of form.

13:06 – Grade A4 500m

Nidderdalesummer deserves consideration despite her recent fourth on 20 May. The three-year-old mare has posted two wins at A5 grade in May, including a victory on 13 May at this distance, and a close second by half a length on 7 May. Her form trajectory is upward, and she’s proven able to compete at this grade with her early carding and mid-to-rails strategy (Crd3, Mid-Rls noted). Sharben Umbreon rounds out the field with a respectable recent second place and a dominant win at A5 just weeks earlier. However, Nidderdalesummer’s sharper A5 winning form makes her the preferred choice. NAP: Nidderdalesummer, Trap 3.

13:52 – Grade A3 500m

Coin Box emerges as the standout closer on this card. The young male has demonstrated exceptional consistency, notching two consecutive wins in late April (by half a length and one length respectively) at A3 and A4 grade, and a second place by just two-and-a-half lengths on 7 May. His racing method relies on early carding and disputing the lead before running in (Crd1, Disp3-RnIn, Ld noted), which has translated to results across five recent runs. Though Trap 2 doesn’t benefit from the highest bias percentages at Nottingham’s 500m, Coin Box’s form consistency and young age suggest continued improvement. NAP: Coin Box, Trap 2. Banter Barbie offers forecast appeal with three consecutive seconds, though her lack of a win in recent form is a concern.

Meeting Overview

The Thursday card at Nottingham blends A2 and A3 graded racing over the standard 500m trip, with no sprint or staying specialists featured. This keeps the meeting straightforward for form analysis, with trap bias data proving particularly relevant on the sand surface.

Punters’ Note

Starting prices firm up 10-15 minutes before race time on the sand at Nottingham. The best bookmakers for consistent greyhound odds are Betfair, Bet365, SkyBet, and William Hill. Forecast betting (predicting 1st and 2nd in order) offers solid value on this card, particularly in the A3 races where form lines suggest competitive finishes. Check SP markets late, as odds can shift on undercard races closer to their scheduled times.
