Horse racing tips: Templegate’s NAP takes a sharp drop in grade and can make it count in a weak race
TEMPLEGATE tackles another Friday of racing looking for a few good winner to build the weekend bank.
Back a horse at the best price by clicking their odds below.
WALK MY WAY (2.50 Hexham, nap)
Micky Hammond drops this six-year-old sharply in class after her encouraging handicap debut at Wetherby last time.
Finishing sixth may not look that great on paper but she came home with lots left in the tank.
The handicapper has been more than fair with a 6lb drop and this looks a poor race.
THE NEWEST ONE (3.00 Newbury, nb)
Ran a cracker when third in the Grade 2 River Don at Doncaster last time and will find this a lot easier.
He was a 19-length winner the last time he ran at this level in December and can score again.
ATLANTA BRAVE (2.30 Newbury, treble)
He was just touched off over 3m2f here last time and will appreciate this drop in distance. That was just his third chase run so there should be a lot more to come.
CEPHALUS (1.12 Lingfield, Lucky 15)
He won on his last trip here and is looking for a hat-trick after victories at Kempton and Southwell. He’s still ahead of the handicapper.
