Horse racing tips: Templegate fancies improving horse at Wolverhampton plus best bets at Plumpton

TEMPLEGATE starts a new week with some strong fancies.

Read on to find out who he thinks can bash the bookies up and down the country.

DAMNED ELUSIVE (7.20 Wolverhampton, nap)

She improved to get off the mark at Lingfield last time with plenty in hand, even having enough energy left to dump her rider after the line.

William Carver takes off a valuable 5lb in this very winnable handicap.

EVENT OF SIVOLA (4.40 Ayr, nb)

He enjoyed stepping back to this distance when scoring handily at Musselburgh three weeks ago. He can strike again on this drop in class.

DORKING LAD (2.05 Plumpton, treble)

He is overdue a win and followed a couple of seconds over timber with a neck defeat in a jumper’s bumper at Kempton. This is much his easiest chance to strike.

PLUMPTON

12.30   She’s Gina       

Drop back to this distance should help after bumper run.

1.00     What A Moment         

Solid third last time and has taken stronger races than this.

1.30     Natural History           

Two solid seconds and capable of landing first win.

2.05     Dorking Lad (treble)    

Knocking on the door and good enough to take this.

2.40     Jackson Hill     

Consistent and followed win with close second last time out.

3.15     Midnight Aurora         

Coming down weights and this race looks a little easier.

3.50     Trevada           

Promise when fifth on debut at Southwell and more to come.

AYR

1.20     Gold Cup Bailly            

Points winner who went close on Rules debut at Punchestown.

1.55     Gypsy Lee Rose           

Drop in trip looks a wise move after Catterick third.

2.30     First Class Return        

Not been with this yard long and improved into third latest.

3.05     Reivers Lad      

Fell in better race last time and yard in decent form.

3.40     Charm Offensive         

Went close here last time and doesn’t need a lot more.

4.10     Kalaharry         

Ran on over shorter when third at Carlisle last time out.

4.40     Event Of Sivola (nb)    

Lots in hand when scoring so 5lb weight rise no problem.

5.10     Wheres Maud Gone   

Debut for UK yard after easy debut win at Thurles.

WOLVERHAMPTON

4.20     Dragons Will Rise        

Consistent and has shown best over this course and distance.

4.50     Broken Rifle    

Likes this track and fair effort in fifth here last time out.

5.20     Pinball Wizard 

Good second over course and distance latest bodes well.

5.50     Huraiz  

Went close last time and can strike from bottom weight.

6.20     Zulu Zander     

Good effort at Lingfield latest and has scored over this C&D before.

6.50     Jacattack         

Plenty in hand when winning at Newcastle last time out.

7.20     DAMNED ELUSIVE (NAP)        

Easy winner at Lingfield and has plenty more to come.

7.50     Villanelle         

Solid run at Kempton latest and this shorter trip should suit.
