Horse racing tips: Templegate’s NAP won nicely last time and runs off the same mark at Market Rasen

TEMPLEGATE tackles a interesting Thursday of racing confident of slamming home a few winners.

Back a horse at the best price below by clicking their odds.

LADY GWEN (12.30 Market Rasen, nap)

She put in a career-best effort when scoring at Taunton this time last week. She always travelled sweetly just off the pace before swooping late to score with plenty in the tank.

Her young rider Kai Lenihan put in a polished performance and trainer Kim Bailey leaves him on board today. His 7lb allowance will come in very handy.

 Because that last success was in a conditional riders’ race, my fancy is back off the same mark. She likes this trip and looks capable of improvement.

ROSA APPLAUSE (6.00 Wolverhampton, nb)

This daughter of sprinting superstar Blue Point made an excellent start when third at Newcastle last time. She was out the back for much of that contest before finishing strongly.

She was just a length away from a couple of well-bred types there and ran on noticeably strongly inside the final furlong.

That pace will be a real asset at Wolver and she’s copped an important low draw that hopefully Jack Mitchell can make the most of.

PAWAPURI (2.05 Wincanton, treble)

Nicky Henderson’s daughter of Derby winner Golden Horn was last seen in the Grade 1 Anniversary Hurdle at Aintree on the back of a decent effort at Kempton.

Hendo has hit the ground running this season and these calmer waters can see this four-year-old land her first hurdles success. 

IMPERIAL ALEX looks a good bet in the Favourite From The Sun Every Day Novice Chase at Newcastle (12.40).

He went close in testing ground at Warwick last time and will enjoy these conditions.

We’re also sponsoring the 1.50 on the card which can go to EX S’ELANCE who sees out this trip well and is only 1lb higher than his last success.

The third Favourite race on the card (2.25) looks a good chance for VOCAL DUKE after his close second at Carlisle.
