The UK horse racing cards on Wednesday from Southwell, Newcastle (AW) and Kempton (AW) with Newbury off due to a frozen track.

Andy Newton’s LAY OF THE DAY: 7:30pm Kempton – NO NEWS
Sticking on the AW this Wednesday with the cold spell continuing to claim most of the jumping action – hopefully things will start to warm up a tad as we draw closer to the weekend.
Anyway, it’s off to the Kempton Park evening fixture for today’s pick as the John Jenkins runner NO NEWS looks worth opposing.
Yes, on recent form there is a lot to like after two nice wins at the track and this 4 year-old is clearly in the form of his life.
However, this recent double was his only wins from 19 runs to that point and as a result is creeping back up the handicap. He’s now up another 2lbs for his last win and is 6lbs higher than his first.
But the bigger worry is that he’s stepping up in trip from 7f to 1m. Okay, he’s been finishing off his races well to suggest this extra furlong is within range, but I’m not so sure.
Is The Step Up To Mile Going To Suit?
He’s raced over 1m (or further) four times in the past and has not even been placed 6-8-4-8. The final worry, if I’d be backing No News, is the form of the Jenkins yard at Kempton.
They are operating on just a 6% return (5-from-85) and when you consider two of those wins were with No News, then really they’ve only had three winners at the track from their last 83 runners.
Hardly inspiring track stats and that coupled with the rise in the handicap and also the step up in trip, that he’s yet to win over, mean there’s enough to suggest looking elsewhere for the winner at the prices.

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).
