Andy Newton’s ‘LAY OF THE DAY’ Horse Racing Tip On Sunday: 1:55pm Southwell – WILLIAM EWART
WILLIAM EWART has one career win to his name from 15 starts under rules (hurdles) and despite having an obvious chance here today at Southwell, looks worth taking on at the price.
The thinking here is that even though he’s dropped in grade, he was still beaten 39 lengths last time at Fakenham over hurdles and the last twice he’s run over this sort of yardage over fences has been beaten 32 and 30 lengths.
Add to this the form of his last third, which also came back in December, looks to have a few holes in it – with the first and second being pulled up in their races since.
Yes, connections have also freshened him up with two months off, but his form tells us that he’s a horse that tends to need a race or two after a break. Backed up with his sole career win coming off the back of a run just 20 days prior.
He’s also yet to win over fences (3 runs), while despite having run okay in soft conditions, today’s expected heavy ground will be a first for this 7 year-old.
The final negative is the form of the Christian Williams yard at Southwell – they’ve had just four wins at the track from their last 46 sent to post.
All-in-all, even though William Ewart looks to have a fair chance in an average race, there seems enough at the prices to look elsewhere for the winner.

What Is Lay Betting On Horse Racing?
In short lay betting is to bet on something NOT to happen.
With the introduction of betting exchanges like Betfair, punters can now bet on a horse or a team NOT to win by effectively becoming a bookmaker.
This can be done by staking against a horse or team on a betting exchange.
For example, if you think a horse won’t win a race and it’s 3.00 (2/1). Then you could lay this horse for £10.
If the horse loses, you will win £10 (less any set commission). Or if the horse wins you will have to pay out £20 (just like a bookmaker would).
See below another example – if you were to oppose Galopin Des Champs at 2.80 for £10.
You can see the liability if the horse wins would be £18. Or if the horse loses you will win £10 (less any commission).
