Tippin' Jimmy talks us through his best bets from Thursday's races.
1:35 Exeter - Admiral's Secret
I expect a bit of improvement from Victor Dartnall's Admiral's Secret here. He jumped very poorly at the back of the field but travelled very well despite the race being lost. He just didn't give himself a chance, but with a better display I would imagine he will have a big chance here. He is handicapped well and unexposed.
1:55 Towcester - Rather Be
Nicky Henderson really rates this horse and he can make his presence known as a novice chaser this season. He gradually improved over hurdles last year, and capped off a good season with a Grade Three handicap win at Aintree. He has been working very well at home and impressed a few of connections recently, he should be a very good chaser this year.
3:15 Exeter - Who's My Jockey
Phillip Hobbs will be expecting a big performance from this novice who has established himself as a very good prospect for the yard. He won a good race at Uttoxeter last month, before finishing a very respectable second at Towcester under top weight in a handicap. He goes back off an even weight and should prove a tough one to get past.
3:35 Exeter - Pineapple Rush
Another for the Hobbs' yard I am very keen on is Pineapple Rush. He was tested on his debut in the closing listed bumper on a competitive Cheltenham card, and to finish third shows how good he can be. I would expect him to improve an awful lot for that run, and he should be able to prove his classy credentials here.
7:15 Chelmsford - Corked
Making his stable debut for Ed Walker is Corked, who on form with Hugo Palmer must have a very strong chance of winning here. She was a very easy here on his penultimate start, before running well on his last start there in handicap company. She takes a drop in grade and will be well fancied to win here.
