Andy Newton’s Lay Of The Day Horse Racing Tip: Friday 26th June 2026

6:25 Newmarket: PHANTOM WATCH

This Hugo Palmer runner will be popular after a good win her last time out.

That was on only his ninth career run, but is up 6lbs for that effort today.

But he’s got a big weight today (9-11) and despite similar conditions will need more and with just a 7-day turnaround might not be much value in the market – despite looking the obvious winner.

At the odds, I’m happy to ‘watch’ Phantom here – rather than back him.

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).
