Andy Newton’s Lay Of The Day Horse Racing Tip: Thursday 18th June 2026

4:25 Yarmouth: SEA SUITE

Won here the last day but being up 2lbs here and also up to a mile (from 7f) means more is on his plate today.

Plus only just got home the last day – when nicking the race by a head, so you feel another step forward is needed.

While being 0-8 over 1m+, then I’m not sure the step up in trip is a plus.

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).
