Romford Greyhound Tips – 27 May 2026
Romford on sand is a fast, track-biased circuit where trap draw dominates the outcome. Wednesday’s 12-race card runs from 18:37 to 21:46, with four feature races across the evening showcasing competitive A-grade and lower-grade action.
18:53 – Grade A5 400m
| Trap | Dog | Age | Trainer | Last 3 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Bubbly Fury | 3y D | P Young | 222 |
| 2 | My Agne | 1y B | P Young | 136 |
| 3 | Whatflowants | 3y B | M Wiley | 422 |
| 4 | Distant Faraday | 4y D | D Childs | No form |
| 5 | Droopys Granny | 1y B | P Young | No form |
| 6 | Biscuit Dunker | 2y B | K O’Flaherty | No form |
My Agne catches the eye in this field. The 1-year-old trained by P Young has shown real promise, winning at A6 level most recently on 9 May with a decisive victory at Romford in Trap 2. The form reads 16346, indicating a recent win after mixed results in A5 company. At 400m on sand, Trap 2 offers a solid platform, though Romford’s middle trap (Trap 3) holds the statistical edge at 32% strike rate over 60 days. However, My Agne’s quick-away style and recent form at this track suggest readiness to attack from the start. Whatflowants (Trap 3) presents counter-interest with three placings from five runs, but lacks the upward trajectory. NAP: My Agne, Trap 2.
20:19 – Grade A7 400m
| Trap | Dog | Age | Trainer | Last 3 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Lavan Jet | 1y B | D Mullins | No form |
| 2 | Sentosa Sunset | 4y D | M Wiley | 313 |
| 3 | Ruadhans Boy | 1y D | D Hurlock | 311 |
| 4 | Maddox Rose | 2y B | D Hurlock | No form |
| 5 | Tromora Lola | 1y B | M Westwood | No form |
| 6 | Miami Diversity | 2y B | D Hurlock | No form |
Ruadhans Boy is the standout pick here. This 1-year-old has won three of his last four outings, most recently taking an A10 contest on 2 May before stepping back to A7 and finishing third on 19 May. The trajectory is climbing. Form reads 31113, showing consistency and improvement through lower grades. He runs from Trap 3, which aligns perfectly with Romford’s 60-day trap bias data showing Trap 3 at 32% win rate. Sentosa Sunset (Trap 2) remains a threat with a recent A8 win and third placings at this grade, but the age advantage and upward form curve favour the younger dog. NAP: Ruadhans Boy, Trap 3.
21:11 – Grade A1 400m
| Trap | Dog | Age | Trainer | Last 3 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Two Sterling | 2y B | J Simpson | 113 |
| 2 | Too Spicy | 2y B | B Doyle | 124 |
| 3 | Patricias Gift | 2y D | P Young | 122 |
| 4 | Yahoo Poppy | 2y B | P Burr | No form |
| 5 | Stormy Pat | 2y D | K O’Flaherty | No form |
| 6 | Romantic Romeo | 2y D | G E Evans | No form |
Too Spicy justifies strong support at the top of the card. This 2-year-old, trained by B Doyle, has won two of the last four races and sits on a recent A1 victory from 23 May at Romford. Form reads 12142, showing two wins in A1 grade and high consistency. The dog has stepped up from A2 to Open company and returned to A1 with confidence, handling the transition well. Trap 2 is not Romford’s prime draw, but Too Spicy’s releasing style and recent form at this exact track and grade outweigh positional disadvantage. Two Sterling (Trap 1) has matching credentials with three wins from five outings, but a recent sixth-place finish on 15 April signals inconsistency at the top level. NAP: Too Spicy, Trap 2.
21:28 – Grade A3 400m
| Trap | Dog | Age | Trainer | Last 3 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Pin Position | 3y D | D Mullins | 334 |
| 2 | Ballinabola Ruth | 2y B | M Wiley | 123 |
| 3 | Itsur View | 1y D | P Young | 152 |
| 4 | Jan Jan | 2y B | P Young | No form |
| 5 | Silvertown Blues | 2y B | P Burr | No form |
| 6 | Marias Girl | 2y B | P Young | No form |
Ballinabola Ruth shapes as the clear selection. This 2-year-old, trained by M Wiley, has won recently at A4 level on 20 May, form reading 12321. The dog was previously racing in Ireland at Enniscorthy with solid form, and the transition to Romford A4 resulted in a decisive victory. Stepping up to A3 here is a natural progression. Trap 2 placement is serviceable though not optimal by Romford’s standards, yet Ruth’s quick-away manner and recent win momentum offset this. Pin Position (Trap 1) offers an alternative with a recent A3 win on 5 May, but the subsequent three runs have yielded placings, suggesting a dip in form. Itsur View is unexposed at A3 level with limited recent UK form. NAP: Ballinabola Ruth, Trap 2.
Meeting Overview
Romford’s Wednesday card spans A1 down to A7 grades, concentrating on 400m sprint racing. The sand surface and fast track conditions favour explosive starters and dogs capable of settling into rhythm quickly. Trap 3 bias at 32% win rate is significant; four feature races provide solid betting interest across the evening.
