Horse racing tips TODAY: With £200 profit in nine days, Templegate reveals his Nap and best bets for Thursday
TEMPLEGATE has been firing in winners left, right and centre lately, including a winning NAP on Wednesday.
In fact, if you had put £10 win on his trebles for the past nine days, you would be a cool £200 up.
With that in mind, let’s take a look at who he thinks will land the spoils on Thursday.
USTATH (12.20 Southwell, nap)
Roger Fell’s four-year-old keeps on winning at this track. He made it three in a row dropped back to five furlongs last time but likes this distance just as much.
The horse he beat last time has come out and franked the form and he can make it four wins on the spin under a capable 7lb claimer.
GRIMSTHORPE CASTLE (11.50 Southwell, nb)
He loves this track and showed real guts to win in a photo finish here nine days ago.
He can improve on that over his best trip under a penalty.
