Horse racing tips: Templegate’s NAP has been a revelation in handicaps and devours track and trip

TEMPLEGATE tackles Wednesday’s racing hungry for winners.

Read on for his selections.

CULLIGRAN (3.07 Hereford, nap)

Stormed to victory over course and distance last time, hitting the front a fair way out and not seeing a rival. She likes this decent ground and hasn’t been off the podium since going handicapping. This is no tougher than last time so another big run is on the cards.

WILD NATURE (5.10 Kempton, nb)

Enjoyed moving back up to this mile when going close here 21 days ago. This son of Kingman was bit unlucky not to win after meeting traffic turning for home. William Buick gets back on board today and can steer him to victory.

BOYS OF WEXFORD (12.35 Hereford, treble)

Tip is best going right-handed so did well to strike at Fontwell last time. He had plenty in hand crossing the line over a similar trip so a 5lb rise in the weights holds no fears.

DUKE OF OXFORD (7.40 Kempton, Lucky 15)

Got the job done nicely here last time and won this race 12 months ago. His C&D record now reads 1121 and he’ll be hard to beat again.
