Tippin' Jimmy gives us his best bets from Saturday's racecard, including the day's Lucky 15.
11:55 Newcastle - Act Of Valour
Paul Nicholls rates this horse quite highly and he should make a winning start for the master of Ditcheat today. He has boasted some good flat form, and the vibes at home are really encouraging. This isn't the toughest race in the world, and he could progress into a very good juvenile this year.
12:25 Bangor - Tommy Silver
Another for Paul Nicholls I like is Tommy Silver who goes to Wales seeking a second win as a chaser. He ran well at Leicester when winning a four-runner race and is very nicely handicapped. If he runs his race he should be hard to beat.
12:30 Newcastle - Well Above Par
Lucinda Russell is quite sweet on this chaser who is most certainly better than his current mark of 112. He travelled very well when last seen at Ayr, and was leading before falling on the third from last hurdle. He will love the conditions, has a lovely low riding weight and should go very well.
12:50 Fairyhouse - Magic Of Light
Jessica Harrington's six-year-old has been in very good form but took a tumble last time and will need to recover. She has been jumping well and was going well in a listed race before falling so should be on a perfect mark for today's handicap assignment. If the trip isn't too short and she jumps well then she must have a good chance.
1:15 Doncaster - Most Celebrated
This horse really is quite a big price considering he is the best horse in the race! He turned out to be a very good winner at Plumpton in April, and was going well before falling at Sandown last month. There should be a tad more improvement to come, he is on a nice mark and will enjoy the ground.
1:55 Fairyhouse - Blow By Blow
He was a Grade One bumper winner two seasons back for Gordon Elliott and he should be every bit as good over hurdles. His return was decent, he just desperately needed the run and he will come on for it a significant amount. This is a competitive race, but he should run very well with everything considered.
3:20 Newcastle - Beware The Bear
Nicky Henderson thinks a fair bit of this horse who makes his seasonal return at Newcastle. He has the class, mark and conditions all in his favour and looks like one who could be really good this season! My only pressing concern is whether he may need this run.
