Andy Newton’s Lay Of The Day Horse Racing Tip: Wednesday 8th July 2026

2:00 Catterick: FILEY BEACH

CD winner here at Catterick, so we know the track suits – having actually won 3 of his 4 career runs here.

But after his last success at this venue has been a beaten favourite at Wolverhampton.

Yes, the return to the turf is expected to suit, but is still 5lbs higher for his last win and only just got home by a neck that day.

The useful Taryn Langley helps to take off 3lbs, but that still leaves him 2lbs to find and is yet to race off a mark this high.

At the prices, I’ll take Filey Beach to get washed-up today.

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).
