Tippin' Jimmy has some of his best bets from the day's racing.

12:10 Lingfield - The Special One
The booking of Tom Marquand highlights how much promise Ali Stronge's yard has for The Special One today. The four-year-old was third at this venue earlier this month and looked to be back in form today. He drops in grade and has to be fancied to go very close here.

12:50 Leopardstown - Glenloe
This is a horse that has been knocking on the doors in these types of handicaps and I really think today one of those doors will open for him. He was second at Naas and Navan last time but there should still be more to come despite a 3lb rise. He wasn't beaten too far last time out and deserves to make amends here,

2:05 Catterick - Lake Field
Kim Bailey makes a long visit to Catterick and he will be expecting a big performance from this horse, who was a very impressive winner at Newbury only eight days ago. He is set to go up 12lb but carries the same mark today, and on the nature of that win there may be a lot more in the tank for today's test.

3:55 Limerick - Diamond Turf
Gordon Elliott's bumper horses are in fantastic form this year and Diamond Turf looks set to make a good start to the racecourse today. He fell on his only outing in a point-to-point but the experience will do him some good and he will relish conditions here. He's well regarded and can run well here today.
