Andy Newton’s Lay Of The Day Horse Racing Tip: Tuesday 5th May 2026

7:30 Wolverhampton: LEXINGTON EXPRESS

This Marco Botti runner won last time at Southwell, but only just got home by a nose.

Is up 3lbs for that win here though and so more is needed and I’m also not totally sure the step up in trip is a plus (having won over 1m last time).

Yes, only three other runners taking her on, but two are proven CD winners – Tinsel and Zipwire – so I’d much rather be with them.

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).
