Free Bets On attheraces.com Fillies Handicap

Outcome
LAY LOST
Recommended lay
7.80
Winner
Alondra
Horse result
1st, won race

What worked

Alondra won the fillies' handicap and recorded the strongest finishing-speed figure on Racing TV's result data. She was the one selected lay to convert her chance.

What to watch

This was the day's losing lay. The key lesson is to treat a well-positioned sprinter with a strong late speed profile carefully, even at a playable-looking price.

17:43 · Chepstow

togetheragainfestival.co.uk Handicap

Outcome
LAY WON
Recommended lay
9.80
Winner
Morte Point
Horse result
5th, did not win

What worked

Morte Point took over after two furlongs, ran on well, and was always doing enough. Diamondonthehill finished fifth and was well away from the winning move.

What to watch

This was a clear winning lay because the selected horse was not one of the late threats.

18:07 · Bellewstown

Zipster

Smiths Of Drogheda Ford Classic Handicap

Outcome
LAY WON
Recommended lay
9.60
Winner
Bay Of Dreams
Horse result
3rd, did not win

What worked

Bay Of Dreams won the Bellewstown handicap. Zipster finished third, close enough to run with credit but still behind Bay Of Dreams and Bucaneer's Spirit.

What to watch

This was a winning lay, but Zipster's placing makes it one to note rather than treat as a horse beaten out of sight.

19:02 · Beverley

Hundred Caps

Belazu Handicap

Outcome
LAY WON
Recommended lay
9.20
Winner
I'm Next
Horse result
4th, did not win

What worked

I'm Next made all and kept on gamely when challenged. Hundred Caps finished fourth, close enough to be involved but not quick enough to trouble the winner late.

What to watch

This was a winning lay with a sensible warning: Hundred Caps was not beaten far, so the race still needs a note for closeness.

19:25 · Wexford

Molloy Metals Recycling Handicap Chase

Outcome

Winner
Lisleigh Lad
Horse result
4th, did not win

3rd, did not win

What worked

Happy Henry won by a length and a half, with Bye Bye Now second and Dandy Land third. The selected lay ran well enough to place but could not land the race.

What to watch

This was a winning lay, though not a wide-margin one, because Dandy Land still made the first three.

19:53 · Chepstow

Recommended lay
6.80
Winner
Maid In Devon

What worked

Maid In Devon prevailed on the nod in a tight finish. Evie Ross was close to the leaders over a furlong out but found no extra in the final 110 yards and finished fifth.

What to watch

This was a useful winning lay because Evie Ross had a chance to stay involved but did not finish strongly enough.

What we learned / things to watch

3 July 2026 finished with 10 published lays, 10 settled, 9 lay wins, and 1 lay loss.

The losing race was Alondra at Doncaster. She won the 16:55 and had the late speed to make the result stand up.

Several winning lays still ran respectably. Ghost Jury, Zipster, Hundred Caps, Itsalladream, and Dandy Land all finished in or near the places, so the day was not just about horses beaten a long way.

The simple watch point is finishing strength. A horse can sit close enough to worry us, but the final check is whether it can still quicken when the race is won.
