Racing tips: Templegate NAPS this exciting chaser to strike for Olly Murphy at Exeter on Friday plus Sandown picks

TEMPLEGATE goes on the hunt for a trio of big winners from Friday’s racing.

Read on for our man’s top tips.

GUNSIGHT RIDGE (2.40 Exeter, nap)

He ran a cracker on his chase debut at Aintree last month. He jumped well and was just outpaced late on. Today’s longer distance and stiffer track should be ideal.

MOT A MOT (12.55 Exeter, nb)

He won a bumper and translated that form to timber when winning on his hurdles debut at Worcester three weeks ago. There’s more to come.

PILEON (3.35 Sandown, treble)

He shaped well in fourth at Aintree last month after a break. He stays well and is down the weights.
