Towcester Greyhound Tips – Saturday 16 May 2026

Towcester hosts a full 24-race card on Saturday, with the sand surface playing host to a stayers’ focused programme. First race at 11:14, last at 21:54. We’ve picked out four feature races across the afternoon and evening.

13:11 – Grade A6 500m

Pagan And Chief looks the standout here. The youngster has won two of his last five at this grade and distance, most recently a strong display on 23 April when he led from the front and won by 6¾ lengths. His form string reads 21242, showing consistent placings and a knack for running on. From Trap 1, he benefits from Towcester’s 500m bias data: Trap 1 has won 21% of races over the last 60 days, joint-best with Trap 6. Pagan And Chief is quick away and settles well, exactly what’s needed in an A6 contest.

NAP: Pagan And Chief, Trap 1.

14:14 – Grade A4 500m

Romeo Echo catches the eye here despite a mixed recent run. His form string 32121 shows a dog capable of winning at this level: he proved it on 10 April with a 6¾-length victory in an A5 race, leading from the jump and running on the wall. His most recent outing (9 May) saw him finish third after checking and crowding at the first bend, but this was still a respectable effort in A4 company. Trap 3 is a solid middle draw at Towcester (18% win rate on 500m), and Romeo Echo’s early pace and ability to find space suggests he can bounce back to winning form here.

NAP: Romeo Echo, Trap 3.

18:38 – Grade A3 500m

Savana Perama represents the best chance in this competitive A3 race. The form string 34331 masks a dog who has finished third in her last four runs, consistently competitive and rarely out of the placings. On 11 April, she won in A4 grade, leading from bend three and winning by 3 lengths. Her mid-to-rails running style suits Towcester’s 500m profile well. Trap 3 comes in at 18% on the recent data, directly matching Trap 2’s win rate, making her draw neutral to favourable. In a field where Trapstyle Bluey is five-time fifth, Jazzy Velvet is still learning at just one year old, and others lack recent data, Perama’s consistency and proven A3 form stands out.

NAP: Savana Perama, Trap 3.

21:54 – Grade A5 500m

Choices Cara delivers strong claims in the closing race. Her recent form 34143 includes a fine victory on 24 April in an A5 contest (winning by just half a length in a tight finish), and she’s placed at A4 level since. Her early pace allows her to dictate, and her rails-to-middle running style means she handles Towcester’s track well. At Trap 2 (18% win rate), she’s drawn perfectly, and unlike Trapstyle Toucan (whose last 500m outing was over three months ago and resulted in a distance fifth) or Fabulous Image (a young prospect still climbing the grades), Cara has immediate A5/A4 form ready to deliver.

NAP: Choices Cara, Trap 2.

Meeting Overview

Towcester’s Saturday card spans A1 through A7 grades, typical of a well-supported stayers’ venue. The 500m feature races show competitive A3 and A4 fields, with lower-grade action in A5 and A6 slots. Trap 1 commands a 21% win rate across the recent sample, and punters should monitor early prices for dogs drawn in middle traps where congestion is less likely on this circuit.

Punters’ Note

Check starting prices 15 minutes before each race on Betfair, Bet365, or SkyBet. Greyhound forecast betting offers strong margins on these six-runner fields: combine your NAP with likely place horses to build value bets. The 500m trip at Towcester rewards early pace and clean breaks, so watch the trap biases as odds firm. Reverse forecast markets are particularly rewarding in A3/A4 company where two or three runners can command heavy support.
