Andy Newton’s Lay Of The Day Horse Racing Tip: Friday 1st May 2026
2:00 Ascot: A BEAR AFFAIR
Just the four runners here for this 2yold race.
The Hannon runner was a good winner on debut at Doncaster and will have his backers to follow-up.
However has to give 3lbs away to two others as a result of that win and the Hannon juvenile SR at this track isn’t exactly great.
With only three 2yold winners from their last 58 sent to post at the Berkshire track.
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).
