Royal Ascot DAY TWO tips: Red-hot Templegate backs huge 9-1 NAP to stun them all on Prince of Wales’ Stakes day

TEMPLEGATE has proven himself the top tipster in the land and returns here with his bets for day two of Royal Ascot.

Read on to find out who our man thinks will land the spoils.

ASTRO KING (5.00 Royal Ascot, nap)

He took a big step forward when a close-up third in the Thirsk Hunt Cup last time.

He did well to get so close after hitting traffic problems. He picked up strongly when in the clear and he’ll get a breakneck pace to aim at here.

LOVE (4.20 Royal Ascot, nb)

She was simply awesome last season when winning the 1,000 Guineas and the Oaks without seeing another rival. She had a fantastic nine lengths in hand when scoring at Epsom and showed that was no fluke by cruising home in the Yorkshire Oaks. She takes on the boys for the first time here on the back of a break. That’s not a huge worry as she won the Guineas after eight months of

WORDSWORTH (3.05 Royal Ascot, treble)

He is a full brother to St Leger winner Kew Gardens so should relish stepping up to this trip. He won a big-field Curragh maiden before a good second in a Navan Listed race when his inexperience may have told. Plenty will have been learned from that and there’s much more to come.

Templegate has a pick in every race on Wednesday.
