Tippin' Jimmy talks us through some of his strong fancies across the racecard.

12:10 Market Rasen - Dans Le Vant (5/6)
A hurdle winner in waiting, and the waiting should end today. Jamie Snowden's four-year-old was sixth in the Champion Bumper and ran a fine race on his last start at Cheltenham, behind Slate House. He is a lot better than these and should win this comfortably.

12:30 Thurles - Asthuria (4/9)
Willie Mullins' mare sets a very high standard in this contest and simply should win with a clear round of jumping. She has been schooling well and this is an ideal starting point, she should be way too good for her rivals.

1:35 Thurles - Burren Life (10/11)
Gordon Elliott has ran some good horses recently and this one can return to winning ways in Ireland this weekend. He ran a smart race when winning at Roscommon before securing a third place finish at Limerick. He steps back out of listed company and can return to winning ways.

1:40 Market Rasen - Acting Lass (11/10)
There was once a time when Acting Lass was odds-on against Finian's Oscar, but sadly he found him just seven lengths too good. He finished the year off with a fine place fourth at Ascot and comes here as a very exciting chaser in the making for Harry Fry. He should go well fresh and can run a big race.

3:20 Market Rasen - Shall We Go Now (5/2)
Harry Fry believes this horse is one of his best bumper prospects for the season this year, and he will hope to establish himself in what looks a decent contest. He was sent off a hot favourite when only third at Worcester last month, but should improve from that initial outing.The form has worked out well with both ahead of him running okay in a listed contest. I expect a good performance here.
