Yarmouth Greyhound Tips – Monday 11 May 2026

Yarmouth hosts a 12-race card on Norfolk’s traditional sand surface, with the opening race at 18:14 and the finale at 21:23. This coastal venue remains East Anglia’s premier greyhound venue, offering consistent racing across competitive grades.

18:14 – Grade A2 462m

A competitive A2 heat where trap draw advantage is significant. Live data over the last 21 days shows Trap 4 winning at 27 per cent on this trip, well above the field average. Swift Jericho (Trap 1, trainer K Cobbold) has posted respectable form with recent second and third placings at A1 and A2, but early season struggles from Trap 1 (16% win rate) are a concern. Recent form reads 23434, showing inconsistency at higher grades. Savana Robbie (Trap 2, trainer M P Brown) offers more appeal: a recent A3 winner on 2 May with the form string 13422, demonstrating upward trajectory. The dog ran mid-rails consistently and secured victory at shorter odds (1.91). Peppered Bedlam (Trap 3, trainer K Cobbold) has experience at this grade but sits in a less favourable trap draw. Own View, Headford Rose and Crypto Kidd carry limited or no recent form data, making them harder to assess. NAP: Savana Robbie, Trap 2. The dog’s recent A3 win and consistent mid-rails running style suit this A2 contest, and Trap 2 (18% strike rate) is neutral.

19:22 – Grade A3 462m

Goldcash Force (Trap 3, trainer K Cobbold) emerges as the standout selection in this A3 race. The youngster (age 1y) has won two of its last three starts, including a convincing 29 April victory at A5 (by 3.75 lengths) with the form string 11316. Most recently, on 20 April at A5, the dog finished third, showing readiness to step up in grade. Goldcash Force’s middle-trap positioning (Trap 3, 22% win rate) is neutral to favourable, and the consistent leadership pattern (ALd, LdRnUp) indicates a natural front-runner suited to the 462m trip. Westway Buzz (Trap 1, trainer E Samuels) has recent A3 experience with form 42121, but the string shows inconsistent finishing and Trap 1’s lower strike rate (16%) is a disadvantage. Savana Cosmic (Trap 2, trainer M P Brown) returned to form with a narrow second on 6 May (form 24443), but the dog is older (age 4y) and has shown patchy recent returns. Bodell Bucks and Carrigoon Kali have no recent form available. NAP: Goldcash Force, Trap 3. The young dog’s recent progressive form, win record, and natural leading style justify favourite consideration in a moderate A3 field.

19:39 – Grade A3 462m

Harlequin Rose (Trap 3, trainer K Windebank) commands attention here with a recent A4 victory on 4 May by 2.5 lengths (form 15251). The dog has won two of its last six starts and demonstrates a solid mid-trap profile (Trap 3, 22% strike rate). Form comments show natural leading ability (SnLd, Ld-1/2) over the closing stages, a valuable asset on the standard trip. Lemon Charlie (Trap 6, trainer K Windebank) has shown some promise but carries recent concerns: a very wide trip last time (659m staying race on 19 April), and inconsistent form at A2-A3 level (form 35635). While the dog accelerated from Trap 6 on 6 May to finish third, the wider draw (16% strike rate) and mixed recent returns suggest caution. Murrow Jabali (Trap 2, trainer R Fitch) is a young, unexposed runner with no recent form data, limiting confidence. NAP: Harlequin Rose, Trap 3. The dog’s recent A4 win, consistent mid-trap running, and natural leadership pattern make it the most reliable selection in what appears an open contest.

19:56 – Grade A1 462m

The feature race showcases the top A1 field of the evening. Essex Crazy (Trap 2, trainer M P Brown) has been in excellent form, with three wins in the last five runs: form string 41151. Most impressively, the dog won at Yarmouth on 4 May (by short head) from Trap 4, and previously recorded a win on 20 April from Trap 3 (by three-quarters length). These victories against IT (invitation) and A2 opposition suggest readiness for A1 company. Trap 2 presents a minor disadvantage (18% strike rate vs Trap 4’s 27%), but recent experience stepping up justifies confidence. Good Extra (Trap 3, trainer E Samuels) has a solid A1 record with form 42145, including a narrow victory on 8 April (by 2 lengths). The dog’s mid-trap position (22% strike rate) is serviceable, but recent consistency has slipped with three finishes outside the frame in the last five races. Racenight Rose (Trap 5, trainer K Cobbold) won decisively on 1 April at A2 (by short head, form 12221), but a catastrophic recent run on 22 April (fell at three-quarters, finishing fifth by distance) raises durability concerns. Golden Acre (Trap 6) has no recent form data available. NAP: Essex Crazy, Trap 2. The dog’s upward trajectory, proven A1 capability, and recent Yarmouth success justify selection despite the sub-optimal trap draw.

Meeting Overview

This Yarmouth card spans four feature races across grades A1 to A3, all contested over the standard 462m trip. A consistent test awaits consistent runners. Trap 4 dominates the strike rate statistics at 27 per cent, with middle traps (3-4) generally favoured. The sand surface at Yarmouth typically rewards dogs with clean breaks and sustained mid-track pace.

Punters’ Note

Starting prices are best checked 15 to 20 minutes before race time on Betfair, Bet365, SkyBet or William Hill, the main UK bookmakers for greyhound racing. Forecast and reverse forecast markets offer value when backing dogs expected to compete for the frame. With modest field sizes typical of Yarmouth, each-way betting is less common; focus on straight win and place stakes, or combination forecasts for improved returns.
