TEMPLEGATE turns his eye to a bumper Saturday card confident of landing yet more winners.
Read on to find our top tipster’s picks.
KING’S LYNN (3.00 Newbury, nap)
The Queen’s sprinter ran two crackers at Royal Ascot without getting his head in front. He had the door slammed in his face when coming with a rattle in the Group 1 King’s Stand Stakes.
Trainer Andrew Balding then stepped him up to this distance for the Wokingham Handicap four days later where again met trouble before finishing third. This smaller field should mean a clearer passage and he has more than enough class to get the job done.
Comes from Richard Fahey who has a strong record in the red-hot Weatherbys Super Sprint. He was an excellent third in the Coventry Stakes last time and is proven over this trip.
VINTAGE CLARETS (3.40 Newbury, nb)
He has Windsor Castle hero Chipotle to beat and it should be a good battle between them.
PINK EYED PEDRO (2.40 Market Rasen, treble)
Deserves a big pot and he looks overpriced for the Summer Plate.
He was second in the Topham at Aintree and went close in good company at Uttoxeter last time. He stays well and top-class Paddy Brennan rides him for the first time today and that can only help.
