Thursday's Best Bets: UAE to be King at Newmarket

Tippin’ Jimmy has been in fine form this week, and picks out his four selections from Thursday’s racecard.

2:25 Clonmel – Arvico Bleu (4/7)
One horse who could turn into a very smart one this season is Arvico Bleu for Henry De Bromhead. He’s bumped into some nice horses in consistent performances, with Next Destination, Cilaos Emery and the progressive Monkshood all beating him. He makes his first start over hurdles, and could be up to striking on his seasonal bow.

4:20 Newmarket – UAE King (5/2)
UAE King is a horse I have been following for a short while now, and could progress into a very smart stayer for Roger Varian. He’s won three races this season, including over this trip, and looked a class act when winning. He was last seen finishing a good third in a listed event at Goodwood, losing out to good horses in Call To Mind and Count Octave. He is a horse with pattern class, and could strike today.

4:30 Perth – Ballyandy (8/11)
Champion bumper winner Ballyandy begins his chasing campaign at Perth today, and looks to take on a competitive rival in Fagan. He is a classy horse winning at Cheltenham, and finishing fourth in last year’s Supreme at the Festival. As with these novices he must transfer his ability to fences, and reports from home indicate he has been jumping well. I can’t wait to see this top horse back in action.

4:55 Newmarket – Amlad (9/2)
I like to keep an eye on Ed Dunlop’s horses as they seem to run well at the minute. He saddles Amlad who is a course and distance winner, on a very appealing mark here. He won here back in June rather comfortably, but hasn’t done too much since. He finished a good second last time out, beaten by a good horse in Humble Hero. He wasn’t defeated by too much, and after only a raise of 1lb he should go very well.
