Andy Newton’s Lay Of The Day Horse Racing Tip: Friday 17th July 2026

2:43 Newmarket: PREFER THE SISTER

This James Owen runner has been in great form of late – winning two of her last three.

The last was an easy win at Yarmouth over 2 lengths, but as a result is up 12lbs for that.

Also had a 5lb claimer on that day (Mason Patel), so is really 17lbs higher today.

Is also up in grade into a C5, so will be facing slightly better horse.

So, despite clearly in good form, I think at the prices she looks worth opposing today.

I ‘prefer’ something else!

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).
