Horse racing tips: Templegate NAP looks ahead of the handicapper at Newcastle
TEMPLEGATE takes on Friday’s racing confident of finding some winners ahead of a huge weekend at Ascot.
Read on for our man’s top tips and back a horse by clicking their odds below.
SKILLED WARRIOR (4.45 Newcastle, nap)
He went close here last week when beaten less than a length with a long way back to the third. The handicapper has left him alone and this looks a good chance.
KINONDO KWETU (1.49 Uttoxeter, nb)
He has impressed when winning all three chase start. He had plenty in hand at Southwell and there’s more to come.
OCEANS RED (4.25 Fakenham, treble)
He had 24 lengths to spare when winning at Sedgefield earlier this month. He’s out again under a penalty and looks hard to stop.
