Yarmouth Greyhound Tips – Saturday, 16 May 2026
Yarmouth hosts a 12-race card on Norfolk’s traditional sand surface, with the action running from 19:08 to 22:22. This East Anglian coastal venue offers consistent racing on a well-maintained sand track, and today’s feature races span A1 to A3 grades across the standard 462m trip.
19:25 – Grade A1 462m
| Trap | Dog | Age | Trainer | Last 3 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Gambet | 3y D | C Morris | 324 |
| 3 | Peppered Bedlam | 2y D | K Cobbold | 155 |
| 4 | Romantic Storm | 2y B | S Knights | 251 |
| 5 | Cappy Cailin | 2y B | K Cobbold | No form |
| 6 | Golden Acre | 3y B | M P Brown | No form |
The opening feature sees Gambet, Peppered Bedlam, Romantic Storm, Cappy Cailin, and Golden Acre competing in a competitive A1 heat. Gambet has recorded consistent placings in recent weeks, finishing second and third in recent A1 outings from Trap 1, though he drew a fourth-place finish on 26 April. His most recent victory came on 20 April when he led from the first bend and closed out well. Peppered Bedlam showed promise with a narrow A2 victory on 11 May from Trap 3, and his run-on characteristics suggest he handles the middle ground well. However, Romantic Storm presents the most compelling profile. Trapped at Trap 4 on this occasion, he won decisively on 27 April from Trap 5 with a middle-run, led-in effort. His 10 May second-place finish from Trap 3 demonstrates his consistency in A1 grade. Trap 4 at Yarmouth 462m enjoys a 27 per cent win rate over the last 60 days, the strongest bias on the track, and this suits Romantic Storm’s running style. NAP: Romantic Storm, Trap 4. Look for forecast value given the depth of form in this field.
20:37 – Grade A2 462m
| Trap | Dog | Age | Trainer | Last 3 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Glideaway Hugo | 4y D | K Windebank | 416 |
| 2 | Headford Aria | 2y B | I Barnard | 313 |
| 3 | Rosshill Storm | 1y D | K Cobbold | 125 |
| 4 | Wait For This | 1y B | S Knights | No form |
| 6 | Mystical Otis | 1y D | K Windebank | No form |
Glideaway Hugo, Headford Aria, Rosshill Storm, Wait For This, and Mystical Otis line up in this A2 chase. Glideaway Hugo is a four-year-old campaigner with recent A2 and A3 experience. His 4 May victory from Trap 2 in A3 grade (winning by a shade) showed sharp closing form, though his 10 May fourth-place finish suggests inconsistency. Headford Aria has recorded two wins and two placings from her five recent runs, with a 27 April A3 victory showing solid rails-to-middle progression. Rosshill Storm is the standout on form: this one-year-old claimed a dominant A4 victory on 6 May from Trap 3, winning by over three lengths. Despite limited Yarmouth pedigree, his recent form in Irish open company (a February second at Cork over 686m) indicates genuine quality. At just one year old with a recent wide-margin win, Rosshill Storm represents exceptional value in this field. NAP: Rosshill Storm, Trap 3. Expect strong forecast interest given the younger profile of the field.
22:04 – Grade A2 462m
| Trap | Dog | Age | Trainer | Last 3 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Effernogue Snowy | 3y B | K Windebank | 222 |
| 2 | Savana Robbie | 3y D | M P Brown | 231 |
| 3 | Somersham Faith | 2y B | D Prentice | 154 |
| 4 | Fashionably Late | 2y D | C Morris | No form |
| 6 | Kilara Rodrigo | 2y D | I Barnard | No form |
The late-night fixture features Effernogue Snowy, Savana Robbie, Somersham Faith, Fashionably Late, and Kilara Rodrigo. Effernogue Snowy has run consistently at A1 grade on the Yarmouth card, recording three consecutive runner-up finishes across 27 April to 9 May. His form shows genuine rails-to-middle strength, though he has not won in recent starts. Savana Robbie won on 2 May from A3 grade, taking a narrow victory from Trap 1 and demonstrating he possesses winning ability at this level. Somersham Faith shows the most eye-catching recent form: a dominant A3 victory on 9 May from Trap 1, winning by a length with a strong rails-middle-then-lead run pattern. Her second career win marks a step up in consistency, though her 2 May fifth-place finish and 27 April fourth-place finish show she can struggle against stronger opposition. Savana Robbie edges the case on balance of recent wins and placing record. NAP: Savana Robbie, Trap 2. This is a tighter A2 field, so consider reverse forecast plays for value.
20:17 – Grade A3 462m
| Trap | Dog | Age | Trainer | Last 3 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2 | Caseys Moment | 2y B | K Cobbold | 311 |
| 3 | Smiley Girl | 2y B | K Windebank | 464 |
| 4 | Knockduff Dancer | 3y B | K Windebank | 213 |
| 5 | Thymelea Swift | 3y B | S Manthorpe | No form |
| 6 | Swift Hot | 2y B | C Morris | No form |
Caseys Moment, Smiley Girl, Knockduff Dancer, Thymelea Swift, and Swift Hot contest this A3 middle-card race. Caseys Moment has impressed with back-to-back wins on 29 April and 22 April from Traps 2 and 2 respectively, both at lower grades (A4 and A5). Her latest outing on 9 May saw a third-place finish in A3, suggesting she is competitive at this level but faces stiffer opposition today. Knockduff Dancer brings consistent A3-A4 form, recording a recent A4 victory on 6 May from Trap 4 and a second-place finish on 10 May from the same trap. Trap 4 continues to show strong winning percentage at 462m, and Knockduff Dancer’s mid-running style aligns well with that bias. He has recorded two wins and two placings from his last five runs, demonstrating genuine form holding. NAP: Knockduff Dancer, Trap 4. Forecast markets offer good odds on this grade.
Meeting Overview
Yarmouth’s 12-race card balances A1, A2, and A3 grades across the 462m standard trip. The trap data is clear: Trap 4 has a commanding 27 per cent win rate and should be favoured in selections. Multiple races feature younger dogs alongside proven A-grade campaigners, offering mixed difficulty levels throughout the afternoon and evening.
Punters’ Note
Starting prices will firm up 20 to 30 minutes before each race. Betfair, Bet365, SkyBet, and William Hill all offer competitive greyhound racing odds and are the best bookmakers for this meeting. Forecast and reverse forecast markets are worth exploring in each feature race, as the younger and less exposed runners in today’s card offer genuine value angles outside the betting odds.
