Yarmouth Greyhound Racing Tips: Wednesday, 6 May 2026
Yarmouth hosts 12 races on Wednesday evening, with the first race at 18:14 on its traditional flat sand surface. This Norfolk coastal venue consistently produces competitive A-grade racing, with trap bias heavily favoring the middle channels at 462m.
Race 1: 18:31, A1, 462m
Runners:
- Trap 2: Trumpers Bobcat (D, 3y, K Cobbold)
- Trap 3: Backing It Up (D, 2y, E Samuels)
- Trap 4: Whyaye Lass (B, 1y, I Barnard)
- Trap 5: Queen Lana (B, 1y, J Mullins)
- Trap 6: Rolo Crunch (D, 1y, C Morris)
Trumpers Bobcat dominates recent form at this grade and distance. The dog has won two of the last three races at Yarmouth A1 (22 April and 6 April), both from Trap 2, posting wins by 1ยฝ and ยพ lengths. Most recently (22 April), Trumpers Bobcat led midway and held on, showing consistent front-running ability. The only blemish is a non-arrival on 16 March, but that is an outlier. Whyaye Lass shows excellent recent form with a win and a close second (29 April) at this grade, but Trap 4 advantage at 462m (27% win rate over 60 days) is offset by the dog's one-year-old status and less consistent record across five runs. NAP: Trumpers Bobcat, Trap 2. Look for forecast value pairing Trumpers Bobcat with Whyaye Lass.
Race 2: 18:48, A2, 462m
Runners:
- Trap 1: Bird About Town (B, 2y, P Cross)
- Trap 2: Prestige Journey (D, 2y, K Windebank)
- Trap 3: Infortherun (B, 2y, E Samuels)
- Trap 4: Headford Rose (B, 3y, I Barnard)
- Trap 5: Cryptography (B, 2y, E Samuels)
Infortherun is the standout pick in this field. The bitch has recorded back-to-back seconds at A2 level (27 and 20 April), both from Trap 3, staying close to leaders throughout each race. The form string reads well: led in the first quarter on both occasions before being caught near the line, suggesting sharp early pace and competitive racing mentality. While Bird About Town won from Trap 1 on 22 April (A2, by a nose), the dog then struggled at higher A1 grade five days later (5th) and the rails trap is secondary to middle draws here. Prestige Journey's most recent outing (2 May) saw a crowded start and fifth-place finish in Open company. NAP: Infortherun, Trap 3. Expect this dog to hit the front early and force rivals to chase; forecast backers should consider close finishes.
Race 3: 19:06, A2, 462m
Runners:
- Trap 1: Swift Carlo (D, 3y, J Mullins)
- Trap 2: Savana Robbie (D, 3y, M P Brown)
- Trap 3: Goldcash Wild (B, 1y, K Cobbold)
- Trap 4: Ballygloss Mike (D, 3y, L Brown)
- Trap 5: Free Flow (B, 3y, E Samuels)
- Trap 6: Oh So Lucky (B, 3y, E Samuels)
Savana Robbie is the class act here. The dog won most recently (2 May, A3) from Trap 1 by the narrowest margin, leading from the first bend and defending the line with real grit. Prior wins and placings at OR (Open) level (18 and 11 April) show consistency across grades. The form string for Savana Robbie over the last five runs shows a win, two seconds, a fourth, and another second - all at competitive grades and distances. Goldcash Wild shows a recent win (23 February, A2) but has recorded three of the last four runs finishing outside the placings, and the record versus Savana Robbie's form is stark. NAP: Savana Robbie, Trap 2. A reverse forecast with Swift Carlo (who posted a narrow second on 2 May) offers value in the exacta markets.
Race 4: 21:04, A3, 462m
Runners:
- Trap 1: Farneys Mabel (B, 4y, P Cross)
- Trap 2: Savana Cosmic (B, 4y, M P Brown)
- Trap 3: Grovenor Sharon (B, 1y, M P Brown)
- Trap 4: Adamant Erin (B, 1y, J Craske)
- Trap 5: Lemon Charlie (B, 2y, K Windebank)
- Trap 6: Swift Lightning (B, 2y, P Cross)
Farneys Mabel is the evident choice. The four-year-old won most recently (29 April, A4) from Trap 1 after crowding at bend three, leading near the line and holding on by the narrowest margin. Prior form reads: second, second, second, fourth over the preceding four runs, indicating a dog knocking on the door and finally converting. Grovenor Sharon posted a win on 2 May (A4) from Trap 4, but that is an isolated result in a short three-run recent sample, with two poor outings in Open company. Savana Cosmic's recent record shows fourth-place finishes and one invitation race entry; form does not read as sharply as Farneys Mabel. NAP: Farneys Mabel, Trap 1. The rails trap has proven successful for this dog at this distance, and recent near-miss form suggests an overdue win is imminent.
Meeting Overview
Yarmouth's Wednesday card spans A1 through A3 grades across all 12 races at the standard 462m trip. All races are flat racing on sand. The meeting should provide consistent, well-supported wagering throughout, with no sprint or staying races. Trap 4 advantage (27% win rate) remains relevant across all races.
Punters' Note
Check starting prices 15 minutes before race time on Betfair, Bet365, SkyBet, or William Hill for best greyhound odds. Forecast and reverse forecast markets are highly popular at Yarmouth and often offer superior value compared to win betting, especially when favourite pairings are expected. Each-way betting is not standard in greyhound racing due to small field sizes.
