Andy Newton’s Lay Of The Day Horse Racing Tip: Saturday 25th April

4:45 Ripon: HIGHLAND OLLY 

This Grant Tuer runner won well at Nottingham last week, but I don’t think he’s the most consistent.

As Highland Olly has won four times, but is yet to win ‘back-to-back’ races.

He’s up 3lbs for that last win too – taking him to a career-high mark (73) and having tried twice (failed both times) off 72, then has a bit to prove for me.

So, at the odds I just feel he’s worth taking on, with others preferred.

Note: Some picks can drift during the day (obviously we have no control of that) – but I’d say if they hit 8.0+ they are prob best left (for obvious reasons).
