Andy Newton’s Lay Of The Day Horse Racing Tip: Friday 15th May 2026

5:45 Aintree: SOUTHOFTHEBORDER 

Won two starts ago at Kempton, but failed (neck) to back that up at Market Rasen the next day.

Up another 3lbs from that run here, while the big niggle for me is that he’s not the most resolute in a finish.

He’s also back up in trip here and so off this career-high mark looks to have a bit to answer in my book.

I’ll take ‘Border’ to go ‘South’ here.

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).
