Romford Greyhound Tips: Monday 27 April 2026
Romford stages 12 races on Monday 27 April, with the first race off at 11:09 and the final race at 14:14. This fast sand circuit is known for strong trap bias and high-draw racing, making form study and trap draw absolutely critical for punters.
Featured Races
Race 1: 11:43 - A2 Grade, 400m
Runners:
- Trap 1: Mucky Boreen (D, 3y, A Kelly-Pilgrim) - Form: 54114
- Trap 2: Jeopardy Andy (D, 2y, P Young) - Form: 45341
- Trap 3: Ten Fold (D, 3y, D Mullins) - Form: 42152
- Trap 4: Ideal Guest (B, 1y, P Burr) - No recent form available
- Trap 5: Bubbly Monza (D, 2y, P Young) - No recent form available
- Trap 6: Tip Top Nitro (D, 2y, K O'Flaherty) - No recent form available
NAP: Ten Fold, Trap 3. The middle-trap runner shows excellent consistency on this circuit, with a recent win from Trap 3 on 18 April (took the lead from bend 3) and placed finishes from similar middle-trap positions. At A2 grade, Ten Fold's recent form string 42152 shows resilience, and the mid-track draw avoids the congestion of the inside rail whilst allowing natural running on the bend. Mucky Boreen is hampered by recent poor form outside his narrow trap 1 comfort zone.
Race 2: 12:01 - A5 Grade, 400m
Runners:
- Trap 1: Jogon Flo Joe (B, 2y, J Simpson) - Form: 33153
- Trap 2: Scooby Dior (B, 3y, M Wiley) - Form: 54543
- Trap 3: Pretty Boy Roy (D, 3y, P Young) - Form: 51215
- Trap 4: Stonepark Susie (B, 1y, K O'Flaherty) - No recent form available
- Trap 5: Jeopardy Heidi (B, 1y, P Young) - No recent form available
- Trap 6: Bluejig Designer (B, 2y, P Burr) - No recent form available
NAP: Pretty Boy Roy, Trap 3. This dog is in outstanding recent form, with a win on 8 April (quick away from trap 3, led near the line) and a recent win on 17 March from a mid-track start with an early bump. Pretty Boy Roy shows real hunger in the middle draw on this circuit, and the A5 grade should suit a dog with dual wins at A6/A7 level. Jogon Flo Joe's form is softer, and the recent 5th place finish (15 April) raises questions about consistency.
Race 3: 12:18 - A4 Grade, 400m
Runners:
- Trap 1: Skylars Sonny (D, 2y, K O'Flaherty) - Form: 22246
- Trap 2: Hillslot Salah (D, 2y, D Hurlock) - Form: 14142
- Trap 3: Joaniedatortoise (B, 3y, B Doyle) - Form: 34461
- Trap 4: Silver Sands (B, 2y, P Young) - No recent form available
- Trap 5: Untold Kadena (D, 1y, D Lee) - No recent form available
- Trap 6: Micks Boy (D, 3y, P Young) - No recent form available
NAP: Hillslot Salah, Trap 2. Fresh off a dominant A6 win (21 April, won by 9 lengths with rails running and bumped in early). Hillslot Salah's form at wider tracks (Lifford, Clonmel) demonstrates versatility, and the recent A6 victory shows genuine class. At A4 grade, this dog should be competitive. Joaniedatortoise shows some promise but recent form is softer; Skylars Sonny's consecutive 2nd-place finishes three weeks ago lack recent backing.
Race 4: 13:08 - A1 Grade, 400m (Feature Race)
Runners:
- Trap 1: Lindas Yes Baby (D, 3y, D Mullins) - Form: 31341
- Trap 2: Swift Jasper (D, 2y, P Burr) - Form: 23343
- Trap 4: Stradeen Spirit (D, 2y, D Mullins) - Form: 13213
- Trap 5: Swifty Does It (B, 2y, B Doyle) - No recent form available
- Trap 6: Our Bob (D, 2y, D Lee) - No recent form available
NAP: Lindas Yes Baby, Trap 1. This is a standout pick for the feature race. Lindas Yes Baby has won two of the last three races on this exact course and trip from trap 1 (18 April and 13 April, both wins from rails running). The dog shows consistent form at A1/A2 level and clearly thrives at Romford; trap 1 is historically strong on the 400m circuit here. Stradeen Spirit is capable but shows mid-trap inconsistency; Swift Jasper's form is weaker despite recent A1 action.
Meeting Overview
The Monday card features 12 races across A1 to A5 grades, all at 400m, suiting specialist sprinters. This is a single-trip card on a surface that rewards early pace and trap awareness. The fast sand circuit at Romford will favour dogs with sharp breaking ability and early settling skills. Dogs showing recent form with quick-away comments or rails running will have the upper hand across the afternoon.
Punters' Note
Starting prices firm up 20-30 minutes before race time at most bookmakers. Betfair, Bet365, SkyBet and William Hill all offer competitive greyhound odds. Forecast and reverse forecast markets are popular on 6-runner fields like this; look for value pairing consistent movers with strong trap bias dogs, particularly in the A4 and A5 races where form lines are less predictable.
