Andy Newton’s Lay Of The Day Horse Racing Tip: Thursday 16th July 2026

4:45 Thirsk: HARSWELL RUBY

This Roger Fell runner is a CD winner here at Thirsk and will be popular after a good second last time at Pontefract.

Is back off the same mark here but has still only won twice from 29 races and both have been when rated in the 60’s – she’s rated 70 today.

The Fell yard are also 0-14 in the last two weeks and also only boast a 4-74 SR here at Thirsk, which is a further worry.

At the prices, I’ll take something else to out-sparkle Ruby 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).

7:02 Worcester: JORAH D’ALMA (11/4 Midnite)

“Jorah d’Alma has never run beyond 2m4f but we thought the maiden hurdle would be weaker than the novice hurdle on the card and so it’s proved. If he gets the longer trip he will have every chance.” Fergal O’Brien
