Towcester Greyhound Tips – Sunday, 10 May 2026
Towcester hosts 12 races on sand from 14:36, with the track’s traditional strength in staying races evident across a mixed card of Open and lower grades. The feature distances span sprint to middle trip, offering variety for punters.
14:36 – Grade OR 460m
| Trap | Dog | Age | Trainer | Last 3 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Dunbolg Grove | 2y D | H Dimmock | 236 |
| 2 | Keplar Alexa | 2y B | Derrick Atkins | 343 |
| 3 | Arthur Itus | 2y D | P Godfrey | -145 |
| 4 | Hitthelids Mateo | 2y D | N J Deas | No form |
| 5 | Broadway Reggie | 1y D | S White | No form |
| 6 | Dapper Cash | 1y D | R Jury | No form |
Dunbolg Grove arrives fresh off a close second at 270m five days ago, beaten only a head after running mid and settling well for trainer H Dimmock. The step up to 460m plays to stamina, and recent form at this distance in December shows a win by three-quarters and a 2nd place finish, both from Trap 3. Today’s allocation to Trap 1 is less ideal on the 460m evidence (only 6% strike rate from live data), but the dog’s consistency across grades and distances is notable. However, Trap 3 bias data (24% win rate) suggests looking at the competition. Keplar Alexa shows mixed form across trips and tracks, with a recent OR 460m third at Towcester but several 5th place finishes. Arthur Itus has limited recent data and was not qualified at Towcester last outing. The remaining runners lack form records. NAP: Dunbolg Grove, Trap 1. Look for forecast value backing this dog with any consistent place-getter.
14:54 – Grade OR 270m
| Trap | Dog | Age | Trainer | Last 3 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Hansford Hero | 2y D | A Ali | 522 |
| 2 | Longacres Cookie | 2y B | P Doocey | 516 |
| 3 | Scooby Matilda | 2y B | C Weatherall | 122 |
| 4 | Makeit Nissan | 2y D | F Gray | No form |
| 5 | Under The Bridge | 1y B | N J Deas | No form |
| 6 | New Plan | 1y B | L Pruhs | No form |
Scooby Matilda dominates the sprint card with an excellent recent streak: won by 1.25 lengths four days ago at Towcester 270m, then backed that with a 2nd place finish at the same trip and venue a week prior. The dog runs consistently from Trap 2 in the 2.88 odds range, showing aggressive early pace (Rls, EP notation) and the ability to lead and hold on. Trap 1 data shows 27% strike rate for sprints, the highest at Towcester, but Scooby Matilda’s proven form from Trap 3 at this track is stronger evidence. Hansford Hero shows dated form from Irish tracks (November/December) and inconsistency at 480m distances. Longacres Cookie won at 686m but has struggled on shorter trips and 480m races. The other runners lack sufficient form data. NAP: Scooby Matilda, Trap 3. Forecast markets favour sprinters; consider backing Scooby Matilda with an each-way selection if available.
15:13 – Grade OR 500m
| Trap | Dog | Age | Trainer | Last 3 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Sporting Boogie | 2y B | F Gray | 635 |
| 2 | Jazzy Mia | 2y B | H Dimmock | 316 |
| 3 | Baby Warrior | 2y B | C Weatherall | 515 |
| 4 | Westfield Forno | 2y B | J L Smith | No form |
| 5 | Drews Fantasy | 2y B | D Lewis | No form |
| 6 | Rolo Rosie | 3y B | S M Johnson | No form |
Baby Warrior merits close attention: the dog won at 500m A2 grade ten days ago (by 4 lengths, from Trap 2, quick away and always led), and has a solid A1/A2 record over the trip showing 3rd, 4th, and 5th finishes that indicate competitive form. A recent 5th place at Nottingham OR3 suggests the step up to OR is marginal, and the dog has proven here at Towcester multiple times. Trap 3 offers a balanced 18% strike rate at 500m, reasonable for middle trip racing. Jazzy Mia won at this distance and grade just one week ago (26 April, 500m A2) but was lame on 14 March, raising fitness queries. Sporting Boogie has been inconsistent this year (6th, 3rd, 5th, 5th, 6th across five outings) and lacks sharpness. NAP: Baby Warrior, Trap 3. Consider forecast pairs pairing Baby Warrior with Jazzy Mia if the latter is confirmed fit.
15:32 – Grade OR 500m
| Trap | Dog | Age | Trainer | Last 3 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Goul River | 1y B | N J Deas | 511 |
| 2 | Droopys Newline | 1y D | M Locke | 413 |
| 3 | Shes Gone | 1y B | C Weatherall | 143 |
| 4 | Alright Bullet | 1y D | D Lewis | No form |
| 5 | Mulveys Champ | 1y D | R Peckover | No form |
| 6 | Doyle | 1y D | F Gray | No form |
Shes Gone is the standout: won at OR 460m just five days ago by 3.25 lengths, leading early (Rls, EP, SnLd) and holding strong. Before that, a win at D1 270m on 1 March and solid form across distances and grades suggests this dog has room for progression. Four of the last five outings show wins or minor placings. At 500m, the step up is modest from recent wins, and the dog handles track variations well. Trap 3 offers 18% win rate at this distance. Goul River shows impressive form at 270m (two wins in recent outings, form string reading 11341) but is unexposed at 500m; the dog has only run 270m races. Droopys Newline won one outing recently but the form is limited and mixed. NAP: Shes Gone, Trap 3. Look for reverse forecast value backing Shes Gone at the top of the race card.
Towcester’s full 12-race card spans A grades through to Open races, with staying trips featuring in the back half. Starting Price odds firm up in the final 15 minutes. Betfair and Bet365 offer the best greyhound coverage and forecast markets (1st and 2nd in order) are popular and offer strong value when form guidance is clear.
