Andy Newton’s Lay Of The Day Horse Racing Tip: THURSDAY 28th May 2026

4:45 Ripon SPARTAN TIMES

Looks the likely jolly here and so will have every chance, but also looks a tad short in the betting to me, so there is little downside here.

Last seen running 4th at Aintree earlier this month over the sticks and won the time before that at Uttoxeter.

But is back on the flat today on a mark that is 7lbs higher than when last winning on the level.

Yes, he’s a course winner too but that was off 13lbs lower and William Pyle could also claim 3lbs when this horse last won – he can’t today.

In short, he’s got every chance at a track we know suits, but would also need a career-best on the level to land this.

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).

15:53 Yarmouth – Hengest

“Hengest is two from two since going into handicaps and is very much on the upgrade. He won over a little further last time, but won nicely over this trip at Windsor before that so the hat-trick is very much on the cards.” DYLAN CUNHA
