Andy Newton’s Lay Of The Day Horse Racing Tip: THURSDAY 21st May 2026

6:40 Chepstow: STOCK MARKET

Will be popular after a good second at Salisbury last week.

But this Tony Carroll runner is up 3lbs for that effort and still heads here 0-11 in his races.

Yes, the yard are in fair form too, but here at Chepstow they are only 9-147 and 1-23 with their 3yolds, which would be the worry – along with the higher mark.

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).
