Horse racing tips: Templegate NAP will relish York test at 13-2 after bolting up at Newmarket
TEMPLEGATE tackles day two of the York Dante Festival confident of banging in a few winners.
Read on for our man’s tips and back a horse by clicking their odds below.
CANBERRA LEGEND (3.35 York, nap)
He took the eye when winning a Listed race at Newmarket on return. He was still green in the dip but was going away at the line. York’s galloping track should be ideal.
ASSESSMENT (3.00 York, nb)
He looked more than a handicapper in the making when scooting in at Kempton last time. This mile is ideal and he has a lot more to offer under Ryan Moore.
FREE WIND (2.25 York, treble)
She won all three Group starts last season and looks too strong. She goes well fresh and this drop in trip isn’t a problem for Frankie and the Gosdens.

Templegate’s TV tips
1.50: DESIGNER was a good winner here in August and returned with a good fourth in a Bath Listed race. He’ll be fitter for that.
Illusionist is another who likes it here and shaped well at Ripon.
2.25: FREE WIND won all three Group starts last season and looks too strong.
She goes well fresh and this drop in trip isn’t a problem for Frankie and the Gosdens.
Aristia was second in this last year before landing Group 1 honours in France.
She is a big threat along with Stay Alert who scored at Group 3 level last season and will like the decent ground.
3.00: ASSESSMENT looked more than a handicapper in the making when scooting in at Kempton last time.
This mile is ideal and he has a lot more to offer under Ryan Moore.
Toshizou went close in a hot contest at Newmarket and looks solid each-way.
Cruyff Turn won this last year and looks on a fair weight for local hero Tim Easterby.
3.35: CANBERRA LEGEND took the eye when winning a Listed race at Newmarket on return.
He was still green in the dip but was going away at the line. York’s galloping track should be ideal.
Epictetus won in the mud at Epsom and is a threat.
The Foxes ran well over a mile in the Craven and should prefer this trip while Flying Honours may need the run.
4.10: ROCKET RODNEY was second on his sole run here and can go one better. He has lots of pace and could improve this year.
Walbank won his maiden here and is a threat while Great State had plenty in hand when winning at Thirsk latest.
