Towcester Greyhound Tips | 28 April 2026

Towcester Greyhound Racing Tips: Tuesday 28 April 2026

Towcester hosts 12 races on Tuesday evening, with first race at 18:08 and the final race at 21:16. This Northamptonshire sand-track venue is renowned for its stayers card, and tonight’s feature races span sprint, middle, and staying distances. The wide open 460m circuit favours middle and outside trap runners, whilst on the 630m stayers will benefit from traps 3-5.

Race 1: 18:08 | A4 | 500m

Runners:

• Trap 1: Makeit Poppy (F Gray)
• Trap 2: Romeo Echo (R Turney)
• Trap 3: Salacres Prodigy (P Harnden)
• Trap 4: Fabulous Islay (L Tuffin)
• Trap 5: Jaz Style (J Gornall)
• Trap 6: Salacres Brendan (P Harnden)

Romeo Echo looks the standout performer here. The dog has won two of his last four starts at A4/A5, most recently finishing second at 500m on 21 April after leading near the line. His form string shows 12151, with clear mid-release and early pace patterns. Crucially, he’s been running from trap 3 where he led near the line in his latest win, but tonight from trap 2 he may find cleaner passage. NAP: Romeo Echo, Trap 2. Look for forecast value with Salacres Prodigy, who has won at A3 and shows consistent 500m form with four runs from traps 3-4.

Race 2: 18:26 | D4 | 270m

Runners:

• Trap 1: Orcas Icon (A Welch)
• Trap 2: Makeit Anton (D Jeans)
• Trap 3: Greencroft Oscar (S Rayner)
• Trap 4: Magical Nelly (D Jeans)
• Trap 5: Makeit Marnie (F Gray)
• Trap 6: Salacres Emma (P Harnden)

Greencroft Oscar has the strongest sprint pedigree in this D4 field. He won at this distance and grade on 12 March (shadow-led and held on), and his most recent form shows a third-place finish on 23 April from trap 4 with clear middle-ground running. Over 270m, early pace is critical, and Oscar’s EP (early pace) and leadership patterns suit the trip. Running from trap 3 tonight, he should find balanced ground. NAP: Greencroft Oscar, Trap 3. Orcas Icon offers forecast cover from trap 1, backed by two 2nd-place finishes at this grade.

Race 3: 18:42 | B3 | 460m

Runners:

• Trap 1: Makeit Goofy (F Gray)
• Trap 2: Turnpike Blue (D Jeans)
• Trap 3: Boswellion (J Gornall)
• Trap 4: You Win Again (H Dimmock)
• Trap 5: Mustang Miamar (A Welch)
• Trap 6: Swift Wally (J Liles)

Turnpike Blue stands out as the class act. This bitch won at B3 460m on 7 April (form: 13213) and has finished second twice at Swindon A5, proving her staying ability over 476m. She’s raced consistently from trap 1 with early pace and leadership traits, and whilst trap 2 is a wider draw tonight, her record on the 460m trip at Towcester is strong. The track bias favours middle and outside traps on 460m, but Turnpike Blue’s consistency and recent B-grade form trump positional concerns. NAP: Turnpike Blue, Trap 2. Boswellion offers forecast interest after recent placed finishes at A6, though her form is largely from other tracks.

Race 4: 19:33 | A5 | 500m

Runners:

• Trap 1: Trapstylebashful (J Liles)
• Trap 2: Last Race Toni (A Welch)
• Trap 3: Dealmaker (S Rayner)
• Trap 4: Romeo Bravo (L Tuffin)
• Trap 5: Ballycleary Bono (D Porter)
• Trap 6: Fifis Lad (D Porter)

Dealmaker merits favouritism. This 4-year-old holds a 15222 form string with strong mid-ground running. He won at A5 on 16 April from trap 3, showing leadership near the line, and his two most recent runs both came from trap 3 at 500m. Tonight from trap 3, he’s at home, and at A5 grade he should be competitive. Last Race Toni has won twice in recent starts but shows a run of 6 and form disruption; Dealmaker’s consistency is more reliable. NAP: Dealmaker, Trap 3.

Meeting Overview

The card spans A-grade hurdles and B-grade middle distances alongside D-grade sprints and staying races. Punters should monitor the progression of grades through the evening and watch for trap-specific form patterns, particularly on the 460m where Towcester’s wide surface rewards outside runners.

Punters’ Note

Check Starting Prices 15 minutes before each race. Betfair, Bet365, and SkyBet offer the best greyhound markets. Forecast and reverse forecast bets are popular on Towcester’s competitive fields; build your forecast combinations around dogs showing consistent trap-to-trap performances, especially on middle distances where trap bias is clear.
