TEMPLEGATE tackles an fascinating Wednesday of racing confident of slamming home a few winners.
Back a horse at the best price below by clicking their odds.
NETYWELL (3.00 Wetherby, nap)
Has not done much wrong since going over fences with a good win at Ayr followed by a run of near-misses at northern tracks.
His comeback run at Aintree 18 days ago was full of promise. He is an excellent jumper so it wasn’t ideal that the low sun meant all the fences in the home straight were omitted.
Despite the race becoming a glorified bumper, Lucinda Russell’s gelding travelled well before being outpaced up the fenceless straight. The form has been franked by the horse that finished behind him winning a decent contest at Haydock at the weekend.
Stephen Mulqueen’s mount should be nice and fit to do himself justice today and the soft ground is right up his street.
JEM IN EM (2.10 Kelso, nb)
All about stamina, as he showed when scoring over this testing course and distance 32 days ago.
It’s always good to see a horse battle back to win once they have been headed and that is precisely what this five-year-old did there. That was his first try over this sort of distance and he looks well capable of improving past a 4lb rise in the weights. He gets on well with young rider Conner McCann who can steer him home in front again.
HIPOP DES ONGRAIS (3.10 Hereford, treble)
He came back from a break to score with plenty in hand at Fontwell last month.
The best thing about that performance was his foot-perfect jumping.
Jockey Harry Kimber even had the luxury of dropping his whip turning for home before landing a commanding success.
The second has come out and won since and he sees out this testing trip strongly.
Hopefully the rain stays away from the midlands as he is best on the current good ground.
