Lay Of The Day - Thursday 20th May

[wizzkid walter]

1:50 Haydock - Speed Gene - Place Lay I know it's a tad controversial to place lay a Hannon newcomer but he is a debutant up against a few with decent first-time-out efforts here. West Leake Bridge is a worthy favourite, Colorado Gold built on his debut when 2nd lto and could well go really close here. A couple of other with experience and a few other interesting newcomers to me make Speed Gene a nice value place lay. If Hughes was on I'd swerve the lay, but McDonald isn't even the stable 2nd jockey 1pt place lay

Re: Lay Of The Day - Thursday 20th May 2.40 Southwell - San Fermin (LAY) Is favourite on debut, most likely because he is a Godolphin runner. I believe him to be a false favourite however with too many punters backing blindly because of the name value. Four other runners: George Benjamin, Prima de Vida, Conceptual Art and Wadi Wanderer have all had respectable outings on the fibresand recently and this experience should give their chances of taking this event a little boost. There are some minor niggling questions about the number of runs it has taken for George Benjamin in particular to break his maiden status. In summary, a debutant on the Southwell fibresand faces at least three credible opponents today, and as such, backing odds less than 3.0 are simply far too short.
