Horse racing tips: Templegate NAP looks a potential Oaks winner in the making on day one of York Dante Festival
TEMPLEGATE tackles day one of the York Dante Festival absolutely certain of landing you a few winners.
Read on for our man’s tips and back a horse by clicking their odds.
INIFINITE COSMOS (3.35 York, nap)
She was impressive when winning a Newmarket maiden on comeback and has loads more to offer Sir Michael Stoute.
GIS A SUB (2.25 York, nb)
He caught the eye on comeback at Newmarket when the lack of a recent run told in the dying strides. He was second in the Gimcrack here so likes the track and soft ground is ideal.
HAATEM (5.40 Bath, treble)
He made a good start when a close-up third in a decent maiden at Goodwood last time. There was lots left in the tank and can get off the mark here.

Templegate’s TV verdicts
1.50: TASMAN BAY makes his debut for William Haggas and is dropped into a handicap for the first time.
He has gone close in Group 2 company and won’t mind some cut in the ground.
As the old saying goes, he is a Group horse in a handicap.
The yard also runs La Yakel who finished last season with a good Newmarket fourth and looks capable of better.
2.25: GIS A SUB caught the eye on comeback at Newmarket when the lack of a recent run told in the dying strides.
He was second in the Gimcrack here so likes the track and soft ground is ideal.
Lethal Levi is another who needed the run last time and has a plum draw today.
3.00: THE ASTROLOGIST went close at Meydan last time and this Aussie speedster should have too much class. He goes on any ground.
Highfield Princess is a proven Group 1 performer but may just prefer 5f. Azure Blue has an each-way shout.
3.35: INIFINITE COSMOS (nap) was impressive when winning a Newmarket maiden on comeback and has loads more to offer Sir Michael Stoute.
Gather Ye Rosebuds was good at Newbury and is a threat.
4.10: CHUZZLEWIT held his own in Listed class on comeback at Newcastle and can take a step forward with that under his belt.
Dark Thirty went close at Newmarket and is back from the same mark.
