Royal Ascot day four tips: Templegate lands ANOTHER winning NAP and tips this 4-1 shot to win the big race on Friday

TEMPLEGATE turns his attention to day four of the star-studded Royal Ascot festival – on the back of yet ANOTHER winning Nap.

Read on to find out who our man – the best tipster in Britain – thinks will land the spoils.

MOTHER EARTH (4.20 Royal Ascot, nap)

She landed the 1,000 Guineas nicely at Newmarket and arguably improved on that when second in the French version last time. She obviously loves the trip and has performed well on fast and slow ground.

ALENQUER (3.05 Royal Ascot, nb)

He won the Sandown Classic Trial ahead of Adayar, who went on to win the Derby in style. William Haggas’s three-year-old looked green when landing that victory and looks capable of better now he’s stepping up in distance.

SAM COOKE (5.30 Royal Ascot, treble)

He showed promise after six months off at York last time when he was leading until the lack of a run told late on. His best effort came over this course and distance last summer when he lost a valuable handicap in a photo finish.

Templegate has a tip in every race on Friday.
