TEMPLEGATE takes on Thursday’s racing confident of finding more than his fair share of winners.
Back a horse at the best price by clicking their odds below – and check out his must-see 16-1 Cheltenham Festival ante-post tip for one of the handicaps.
Also, book your ticket to Sun Racing’s brilliant Cheltenham Festival preview night, hosted by Matt Chapman and featuring three special guests.
ANIMAL (4.15 Sandown, nap).
The handicapper has been more than fair and this eight-year-old is only 5lb higher than that latest success. This slight drop in class will help and he’ll go close under talented jockey Gavin Sheehan.
ETALON (1.55 Sandown, nb)
His jumping stood out when he won a match at Warwick last time in a race that won’t have taken a lot out of him. He is proven on soft ground and has more to come.
FARCEUR DU LARGE (3.05 Sandown, treble)
He relished the three-mile test around here and had plenty in hand under rider Major Will Kellard who takes off a valuable 7lb again. He looks the one to beat again.
SASSY REDHEAD (4.22 Southwell, Lucky 15)
She looks the day’s best bet on the all-weather. She is consistent at this level with two wins and a pair of seconds from her past four runs.
