Tippin' Jimmy gives us his trio of bets ahead of the day's racing.

2:40 Newcastle - Winds Of Fire
Godolphin are strongly represented at Newcastle this afternoon with Winds Of Fire, who is seeking his first victory this afternoon. He finished third last time and wasn't defeated by much that day. He can continue to improve for this test and is well regarded to pick up some good prize money over the winter for Charlie Appleby.

3:55 Bangor - Burns Cross
Neil Mulholland likes this horse a fair bit, and although he is a big chasing type he can do well in today's bumper assignment. The track and ground should suit him well but the only doubt is whether he can be quick enough today. He remains a classy type and can be one to follow.

4:20 Newcastle - Limoncino
A well regarded type who hasn't yet delivered is Limoncino for Michael Dods. The three-year-old finished third on two visits to Newcastle before a fourth place finish at Southwell last time out. He has been dropped 5lb but could still play a leading role here.
