Racing tips: Templegate NAPS red-hot runner seeking four-timer now sent handicapping on Thursday

TEMPLEGATE goes in search of yet more winners from Thursday’s racing.

Good luck with our man’s top tips.

GUINNESS AFFAIR (4.50 Exeter, nap).

He made it three wins in a row when cruising to victory at Fontwell last time. He steps into handicaps from what looks a fair mark and has a lot more to offer.

PLASTIC PADDY (8.00 Chelmsford, nb)

He got the job done nicely over this distance at Newcastle ten days ago. Stepping up to the mile brought lots of improvement and he can defy a penalty.

SERGEANT (3.05 Exeter, treble)

He has won two of his past two and battled strongly when scoring at Sedgefield. He goes off the same mark here so should be hard to beat.
