Andy Newton’s Lay Of The Day Horse Racing Tip: Saturday 16th May 2026

8:15 Doncaster: MOONHILL LASS

Will be a popular pick – after two easy wins at Yarmouth and Salisbury recently.

But is up 8lbs from the last of those and also up in trip.

Both wins came over 6f, so I’m not sure today’s 7f will suit – with all career wins coming over shorter.

I’ll take something else to ‘eclipse’ Moonhill Lass today.

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).

    15:20 Bangor-on-Dee: Paddockwood

    “Two in this. Paddockwood had plenty of experience on the flat (one win) and over hurdles (two) in France. He’s been highly tried in his two runs from here, but now in lesser company and after a wind-op, he can show his positive side with a decent effort today.” BEN PAULING
