Towcester Greyhound Racing Tips: Saturday 25 April 2026

Towcester hosts a 12-race card on Saturday from 14:18, with this Northamptonshire sand track known for its stayers’ specialists and competitive mid-grade racing. The wide open 460m circuit favours runners from middle and wider traps, particularly on the longer trips where stamina matters.

Race 15:38 (A5, 500m)

Runners:

• Trap 1: Slippy Debra (J Liles)
• Trap 2: Flickering Belle (P Swadden)
• Trap 3: Parties Choice (D Porter)
• Trap 4: Flitwick Trigger (P Henman)
• Trap 5: Five Alley Zena (D Porter)
• Trap 6: Trapstyle Dopey (J Liles)

NAP: Slippy Debra, Trap 1. The two-year-old bitch shows sharp recent form, notably winning at A7 level on 2 April and again on 28 March from trap 1. Despite a setback when brought down at this level on 10 April, her explosive early pace and rails handling (running from trap 1) suits Towcester’s configuration. She has shown she can lead and win at A7, and drops back to A5 where she should prove formidable. Flickering Belle offers a secondary angle as the second-best form horse over recent runs.

Race 16:18 (A4, 500m)

Runners:

• Trap 1: Ballycowen Lil (P Swadden)
• Trap 2: Ballygogue Jet (A Welch)
• Trap 3: Easy Texas (L Tuffin)
• Trap 4: Fabulous Rakiya (L Tuffin)
• Trap 5: Graigues Downey (A D Scott)

NAP: Easy Texas, Trap 3. The two-year-old has shown consistent recent form, finishing second narrowly on 10 April and third on 19 April, both times from trap 3 at this grade. His form comments show he quickens well late (EP early pace, then runs on). From trap 3, a middle draw, he sits ideally on Towcester’s wider circuit and avoids the crowding issues that have troubled Ballycowen Lil from trap 1 in recent outings. Ballygogue Jet is exposed but inconsistent, making Easy Texas the more reliable option.

Race 16:58 (A3, 500m)

Runners:

• Trap 1: Ballykilduff Gem (C Condon)
• Trap 2: Trapstyle Bluey (J Liles)
• Trap 3: Savana Perama (P Tsirigotis)
• Trap 4: Antigua Bubble (A Welch)
• Trap 5: Swift Quill (N J Deas)

NAP: Savana Perama, Trap 3. The three-year-old has won two of his last five races, including a decisive victory at A4 on 11 April from trap 4 where he led from bend 3. His most recent run on 18 April finished third in A3 company from trap 3, still strong form. Savana Perama’s ability to move into the lead early and hold it (QAw, Disp-1 pattern) pairs perfectly with trap 3 on this open circuit. Ballykilduff Gem is dangerously fit and won from trap 2 on 20 February, but his recent A2 run on 18 April yielded only fourth place, suggesting he is being stretched at the top end. Savana Perama’s consistency and proven trap 3 record make him the pick.

Race 17:55 (A7, 500m)

Runners:

• Trap 1: Confey Blaze (D Porter)
• Trap 2: Boherash Ollie (K Crocker)
• Trap 3: Runlike Skippy (P Swadden)
• Trap 4: Fabulous Image (L Tuffin)
• Trap 5: Lamorna Lill Moo (A D Scott)
• Trap 6: Coolemore South (J Liles)

NAP: Runlike Skippy, Trap 3. The one-year-old has won two of his last five runs, most impressively claiming victory on 16 April from trap 2 at this grade. He showed early pace and held the lead, a solid template. Now stepping from trap 2 to trap 3, he gains the middle draw advantage on Towcester’s circuit and avoids the congestion of trap 1. Boherash Ollie is veteran and solid, but his recent form reads slower. Confey Blaze struggled last time from trap 1 with a last-place finish. Runlike Skippy’s recent win and proven ability to lead make him the strongest proposition in this A7 finale.

Meeting Overview

Towcester’s Saturday card runs from A3 to A7 grades across 500m standard trips, typical for this stayers’ track. The four feature races above represent mid-grade competitive racing where form and trap position are crucial. Middle and wider trap runners consistently perform better on the wide circuit.

Punters’ Note

Check SP prices with Betfair, Bet365, SkyBet, and William Hill 10-15 minutes before race time, as greyhound markets firm rapidly. Forecast and reverse forecast markets are particularly strong at Towcester. Focus on runners showing consistent trap records and mid-grade consistency rather than exposed older dogs dropping down.
