TEMPLEGATE tackles Thursday’s racing confident of finding some winners on day two of the May Chester Festival.
Read on for our man’s tips and back a horse by clicking their odds below.
EY UP IT’S JAZZ (8.45 Thirsk, nap)
He was impressive when scoring at Leicester last time. Stepping up to this trip holds no fears and he’s best on this soft ground.
GOLDEN MAVERICK (4.40 Southwell, nb)
He looked a nice prospect when coming from a long way back to score at Wetherby. This mile is ideal and he can strike again under a penalty.
EGOISTE (9.00 Chelmsford, treble)
Good claimer Harry Davies takes over on this four-year-old who was beaten in a bunch finish here last time and has come down the weights.

Templegate’s Chester TV verdicts
1.30 CH: LIHOU battled well to score after traffic problems at Epsom.
He has copped a good draw in stall two and has won here before.
King’s Lynn needed his comeback at Donny and Ryan Moore can steer him close. Look Out Louis likes the track.
2.05 CH: URBAN SPRAWL signed off last season with two good wins and went close at Musselburgh last time.
He carries a fair weight and has Chester king Franny Norton on board.
Vetvier was good at Beverley and has more to come, as does Theoryofeverything.
2.40 CH: LOCAL DYNASTY did well to win a Listed race over a mile at Pontefract as he’ll come into his own over this sort of trip. There’s much more to come.
Alder didn’t have a lot to beat at Cork but did it nicely and is proven at the trip.
San Antonio can build on his Dundalk win with Passenger in the mix after a Newmarket debut win.
3.15 CH: HAMISH likes Chester and cut in the ground so can follow up last year’s win. He goes well fresh.
Old Harrovian is a stayer to follow and was impressive at Wolves.
Changingoftheguard won the Chester Vase before his Derby fifth and should appreciate this trip.
3.45 CH: CITY STREAK was second on his last run here and is fit from a spin on the all-weather. This trip suits.
Stately Home ran well at Newbury in a hot handicap and is another to note with Thunder Max who was unlucky at Haydock after a whole year off.
