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

4:35 Wetherby: HARSWELL RUBY 

Won at Thirsk the last day by a length so clearly heads here today in fine fettle.

But is up another 3lbs this time and that takes him to a mark of 72.

He’s tried to win in the 70’s six times in the past, but come up short each time.

Meaning he’ll need a career-best today in what is also a slightly harder race than last time – up from 0-70 to 0-75.

Happy to take her on and with the Grant Tuer yard having a fair SR with their runners recently, their Chesneys Charm could be the value.

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).


Worth Knowing Today – Horse Racing Stats and Fun Facts

  • Trainer Grant Tuer has a 40% SR with his runners in the last 14 days
  • Trainer Ralph Beckett has a 36% SR with his 2yolds at Nottingham
  • 1:55 Wetherby – 4 of the last 5 favourites won

Today’s FREE QUOTE: SUNDAY 26th April 2026 💬

16:35 Wetherby – Zarathos

“I’m still pinching myself in disbelief that Zarathos remains a maiden having been placed so many times last year, usually without any luck as with Chester on his finale last September. He needed the comeback run at Doncaster the other day and we go north again this afternoon with renewed hope. He deserves to win one.” DYLAN CUNHA
