Thursday's horse racing thread 🧵 Newbury 3.30 Forty Years On 7/4 Newbury 4.05 Wild Clary 2/1 Yarmouth 5.03 Rockafeller Skank 1/1 NAP Newbury 5.15 Mythical Bay 6/5 NEXT BEST Leopardstown 8.30 Rodeo Blues 4/1 each way Catterick 8.59 Uppercase 9/2 each way I backed FORTY YEARS ON a couple of times last season and she didn't let me down. She has progressive form and this test will suit her well. She has further improvement to come this season and with the ground ideal she should take a lot of beating here. I backed WILD CLARY at Carlisle and he ran well to finish third. He was beaten a little over a length and the two horses in front of him both look on upward curves. He is off the same mark and another run like that could see him salute the judge again. It was gamble landed for ROCKAFELLER SKANK over a mile here yesterday. It looks significant he is turned out so quickly stepping up to a mile and a quarter and if he handles the quick turnaround then quite simply he should follow up against these rivals. No surprise to see the money come for MYTHICAL BAY. He has been beaten twice this season but went down just a length at Chester and then had excuses back on the AW last month. He has more to come back on turf meeting softer conditions and looks difficult to oppose now. Off a light weight RODEO BLUES must have a big shout here. This Blue Point filly ran well on handicap debut at Gowran and if stepping forward again she could have a great chance to get off the mark now. There should be a lot of pace on so she will needs the gaps but I'm expecting her to be finishing strongly. I was impressed with UPPERCASE at Yarmouth and if he builds on that again here he surely gets involved? He was still quite keen last time so if settling better would be capable of an even bigger performance. This is competitive but at the prices he is worth chancing.
