Tippin' Jimmy hopes to finish the year off with a few winners from Sunday's racing.
1:45 Lingfield - Mystique Moon
Charlie Appleby was very confident about the chances of this horse who should be winning in the Godolphin colours today. He won two races before finishing a fine second to a horse who has gone on to finish third in Group One company. Confidence is high and he may prove very tough to beat here.
2:25 Warwick - Arctic Gold
Nigel Twiston-Davies is another who s very confident with Arctic Gold who is seeking his first victory over fences. He wasn't far off when second on his penultimate start, before travelling really strongly at Aintree before falling in the Grand Sefton. He is well-handicapped and deserves to run a huge race here.
3:30 Uttoxeter - Queens Cove
Bought for a huge sum is the exciting point-to-point winner for David Pipe. She won really well by ten lengths and the form of that race has worked out very well. This is a weak race and if she reproduces her debut effort then she should take this really easily.

Saturday's Best Bets: Don't Ask, Bet!
Embed from Getty Images
Tippin' Jimmy hopes to end 2017 with a few winners from across the card.
12:05 Newbury - Nayati
Alan King has a very nice prospect in the form of Nayati here, who deserves to make a winning start at Newbury today. He won a French maiden on soft ground before leaving that yard to come to the UK and that form puts him in with a big chance here. He is well thought of at home, and can make a winning start.
12:50 Taunton - Don't Ask
Warren Greatrex thinks very highly of this horse and he can continue to improve for this afternoon's test. He won pretty well at Bangor earlier this month and on today's conditions can continue to move up the novice rankings. He is well fancied today and should reward his punters.
2:10 Haydock - West Of The Edge
I spoke to the owners of this horse a few weeks back and they really rate him this season, and as the rain came they would've been delighted. It is a tough test for this stayer but he is on a very good mark, and will love the conditions today.
2:45 Haydock - Crievehill
Nigel Twiston-Davies is very keen on this one today, who has looked a very smart prospect since switching to chasing. He will be better over fences than hurdles and has a lot of potential here. He will relish the conditions and may prove very tough to beat.

Friday's Best Bets: Dance to this Mullins chance

Tippin' Jimmy gives us his best bets from across the racecard.
1:00 Limerick - Kate Appleby Shoes
Willie Mullins has a lot of good ones today and I think this is one with a big chance that has slipped down off the radar. She looked very smart over hurdles but going chasing was always going to bring out the best in her and I hope that is the case today. For me if she jumps soundly she wins.
1:20 Leopardstown - Let's Dance
This could be a nice quickfire double on the day and I fully expect this super mare to prove her class on what looks a very nice race for her. She won this last year and went on to win at the Cheltenham Festival, and although this is much tougher she sets a high standard and could prove very difficult to beat here.
3:05 Leopardstown - Lesley Dawn
Jessica Harrington thinks a lot of this horse and I really like his current mark and think he can win off it. He shaped very well when winning a maiden hurdle earlier in the season and if he builds on that then he can feature in this big handicap at a monsterous price.

Thursday's Best Bets: The Special One is just that
Embed from Getty Images
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.

Wednesday's Best Bets: Silver to sparkle
Embed from Getty Images
Tippin' Jimmy gives us his strong fancies from across the card.
12:30 Wetherby - Some Reign
I think this horse could be a star for Rose Dobbin but has something to prove here. He was a really good winner on his penultimate start before refusing to race on his last outing. There should be a lot more to come and this race is certainly winnable on the back of what he has the potential to do. I expect him to have a bold chance here.
1:20 Kempton - Tommy Silver
Paul Nicholls rates this horse very highly and he should be able to run well in Grade Two company this afternoon. He was an impressive winner over fences at Leicester before finishing second to a smart one last time out. The form has worked out very well and he can continue to improve ahead of this assignment.
1:50 Leopardstown - Mengli Khan
I like this horse a lot and the way he won the Royal Bond was visually really good. There should be a fair bit more to come from him and this looks an ideal opportunity to follow up. He can continue to improve for this test and he should run a fine race.
2:40 Wetherby - Same Circus
This horse shaped like he needed a longer trip last time out and she gets it today. She finished second over half-a-mile shorter and can continue to improve for this outing. She is only a 1lb higher than last time and deserves to get a win to her name today.

Boxing Day's Best Bets: Persian can be a Christmas Delight
Embed from Getty Images
Tippin' Jimmy gives us four to follow from the Boxing Day card.
12:35 Market Rasen - Ashkoul
Dan Skelton's hurdler has been very unlucky when second on his last two outings and deserves to get his head in front. The form of both his runner-up finishes has worked out very well and I would expect him to continue improving for today's run.
1:10 Market Rasen - Argentix
Since moving from France, Lucinda Russell's Argentix has slowly been getting the hand of things and deserves to strike off this current mark. Ideally even softer ground would've been ideal, but there should be plenty more to come and I would expect a very good performance here.
1:30 Wincanton - Persian Delight
An unexposed type who deserves to go very well is Persian Delight who runs for Colin Tizzard and Harry Cobden. He finished third on his return and should improve significantly on that inital run. He should go very well here and I expect a big run from him.
1:45 Down Royal - Minellafordollars
I am very keen on this horse who just seem to have an off day when a poor third last time out. There should be a lot more to come from him, and he certainly has the potential to do very well this season for Gordon Elliott. There should be more to come and he can run a big race today.

Saturday's Best Bets: Gold can Present you with a win
Embed from Getty Images
Tippin' Jimmy has a trio of selections for today's racing.
2:10 Haydock - Limited Reserve
Christian Williams' five-year-old shaped like a very smart performer when striking by eight lengths on his last outing and can be expected to go well once again. He has been risen 8lb by the handicapper but the fashion he won in proves there is probably even more to come. I would strongly fancy his chances here.
2:45 Haydock - Three Faces West
I covered this race in real depth and I do really like the chance of Three Faces West. He was fantastic at this point in the year last season, and made a fine return at Cheltenham. That was a much stronger race than this, and he has been impressing trainer Phillip Hobbs. Confidence is very high and he should run a big race.
3:00 Ascot - Gold Present
I like this horse and I think he can continue to win races for Nicky Henderson. He has been raised 5lb for his neck victory at Newbury but there should still be a bit more to come. I would think he can run another fine race.
