Horse racing tips: ‘Everything sets up perfectly for her' – Templegate's 5-2 NAP runs for a red-hot trainer
Back a horse by clicking their odds below.
CINDERELLA'S DREAM (3.35 Newmarket, nap)
She was far from disgraced when second in the Duke Of Cambridge at Royal Ascot on the back of an impressive Dahlia win on the Rowley Mile. She didn't have enough time up the short straight to hit top gear and that's not a problem today.
ENDLESS VICTORY (3.00 Newmarket, nb)
He put in one of the better runs from a Charlie Appleby horse at Royal Ascot. He was too far back before coming home like a train into second. He has more to come over staying trips and will hopefully start his run a bit earlier this time.
SAYIDAH DARIYAN (2.45 York, treble)
She stormed home for fourth in the Commonwealth Cup at Royal Ascot and could take a step forward again. That performance was no fluke and this Group 3 looks a good opening for a rapidly progressive filly. With pace to aim at and conditions in her favour, she's hard to fault.
NEWMARKET
1.50
URBAN GLIMPSE looks the right one.
He's been in fine form and was just edged out at York last time, staying on strongly over a similar trip, and this stiffer finish could play to his strengths.
King's Charter looks a threat under William Buick.
He takes a big step up from his novice win at Doncaster but that looked a decent contest and he's respected.
Kurakka is going for a hat-trick after dominating from the front at Haydock but he may lack a bit of pace at this level.
War Hawk did well to score at Epsom despite traffic problems and the booking of Ryan Moore takes the eye.
Regalian keeps hitting the frame and may find one too good again.
2.25
VENETIAN SUN is a skinny price but she'll shine again.
She couldn't have been any more impressive when winning the Albany on her second start at Royal Ascot.
We know this trip and decent ground are ideal and there's more to come.
Spicy Marg and Shine On Me both come here after running well in the Queen Mary with improvement to come.
The latter could be the pick of the pair given how sharply she came home. Moving up to 6f could unlock more from both of them.
Mood Queen and Royal Fixation both won novice contests well but need a fair bit more.
Argentine Tango was a Listed winner here latest so we know the trip suits and she could hit the frame.
3.00
ENDLESS VICTORY put in one of the better runs from a Charlie Appleby horse at Royal Ascot.
He was too far back before coming home like a train into second.
He has more to come over staying trips and will hopefully start his run a bit earlier this time.
Dancing In Paris was a good second in the Northumberland Plate and is a big threat if this isn't coming too soon. We know stamina isn't an issue.
Insanity put a few modest runs behind him when winning at Ayr and is dangerous if still in the groove.
Real Dream scored at Listed level last time and a repeat of that gives each-way hopes.
Story Horse likes it here and is another with place prospects.
3.35
CINDERELLA'S DREAM was far from disgraced when second in the Duke Of Cambridge at Royal Ascot on the back of an impressive Dahlia win on the Rowley Mile.
She didn't have enough time up the short straight to hit top gear and that's not a problem today.
Crimson Advocate showed good pace to beat the tip last time with Ascot suiting better. This long straight may not be so helpful.
January gets weight off them and went close in the Coronation. She can't be ignored.
Elmalka is a Guineas winner so will enjoy the track and put in a fair effort in France last time. She needs to step up to score.
Elwateen didn't handle Epsom last time and could nick third.
2.10
DUBAI TREASURE looks well ahead of this standard.
Saeed Bin Suroor's lightly raced filly made it two from two this term with ease at Lingfield on handicap debut.
The handicapper was watching and has booted her up 10lb but she looks potentially better than a handicapper.
Fortamour keeps knocking on the door at this level and has run well here before.
Sword was a good winner at Leicester last month before another good run when hampered at Haydock last time. He's a big danger.
Streets of Gold is another of interest if building on a solid first run for Julie Camacho.
Fifty Nifty is still 6lb above his last win but has his sights lowered plenty here which could help.
Physique ran well at Newmarket last time and likes this tricky trip.
He's not won for a while but could make the frame, while Talis Evolvere was back to form at Newcastle 13 days ago.
2.45
SAYIDAH DARIYAN stormed home for fourth in the Commonwealth Cup at Royal Ascot and could take a step forward again.
That performance was no fluke and this Group 3 looks a good opening for a rapidly progressive filly.
With pace to aim at and conditions in her favour, she's hard to fault.
Electric Storm looks a danger with her ability to lay up with the speed and her Group 2 form reading well.
If she grabs an early position, she'll be hard to pass.
First Instinct has been mixing it at Group 2 level and is a strong-finishing type who could run into the frame.
Nighteyes posted a huge run in the Jubilee and goes well here but her sluggish starts are a worry.
If Celandine is fully tuned after 286 days off, her Lowther winning form puts her in the each-way picture.

Chelsea rocked by disappearance of £30,000 worth of equipment from Blues' Cobham training ground
CHELSEA have been rocked by the disappearance of £30,000 of camera equipment from their training ground. The Blues called Surrey Police after the gear was reported missing from their Cobham HQ. 2 2 It remains unclear whether the hi-tech video equipment has just been mislaid and will come to light once all staff have returned from holiday. But the incident is suspicious enough for the club to have involved the police. Top football clubs like the world champion Blues make extensive use of video footage from training and matches to help players' physical, technical, tactical and mental performance. Chelsea declined to comment about the timing and circumstances of the discovery that the equipment was not where it should be. But if a crime has been committed, it won't be the first in the leafy Surrey suburbs to affect the club. A number of Chelsea players have been the victims of break-ins at their mansions near the club's training base. Raheem Sterling's home was targeted in December 2022 while he was with England at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, with a group of burglars stealing £300,000 of designer watches. Sterling flew home from the tournament to comfort his family before returning to the Middle East. Albanian Emiliano Krosi was later jailed for more than 11 years for his part in the raid and 32 other burglaries across the South East. Sterling was the fourth Chelsea player to have his home burgled in a relatively short space of time. Current club captain Reece James slammed the 'cowardly thieves' who broke into his house in December 2021 while he was playing for the Blues in the Champions League. The burglars got away with a safe that contained James' medal from Chelsea's Champions League win of that year, as well as the Euro 2020 runners-up medal he earned with England. At least two other unnamed Chelsea players were understood to have suffered similar experiences around the same time

This isn't a case of 'WILL they get it right'? This is a case of 'WHEN they get it right'... GRAEME SOUNESS is backing the new revolution at Rangers
Almost 40 years after being at the vanguard of one revolution at Ibrox, Graeme Souness is now content to be bear witness to another. In the past three months, Rangers have moved into new ownership, with their American custodians quickly identifying Russell Martin as the man to instigate a change of fortunes on the park. While the new manager's nine recruits to date have been much lower profile than the cast of international A-listers assembled by Souness, the wind of change throughout the club feels reminiscent of that which blew in during the summer of 1986. When Souness arrived from Sampdoria as player-manager, the club had long become strangers to the winner's podium. With just one league title in the past 14 years, Martin has also arrived on the scene at a point when losing has become the norm. While 72-year-old Souness purposefully stops short of predicting that the latest incumbent can follow his lead by winning the Premiership at the first time of asking, his instinct tells him that something special is brewing again at his old stomping ground. 'I think the new guys (in charge) have started well,' said Souness of the consortium which includes 49ers Enterprises. 'The noises that have come out sound very professional and it's as if they know what they're doing. Former Rangers manager Graeme Souness is thrilled with the positive signs under new regime 'This is not a case of 'Will they get it right?' This is a case of 'When they get it right'. 'This is not their first dip into soccer. Like in any new business, they will have made some mistakes down in England with Leeds United. 'I expect them to hit the ground running to a certain point. From what I'm hearing from within the club, and how it comes out publicly, I'm very much encouraged. 'It would appear, from the outside looking in, it's settled down. People know what roles they've got within the organisation. And I think there's a clear path that's being led from the top. I think everyone now knows their job and they can get on with it.' His heart tells him that Martin's newly moulded side can come up trumps at the first time of asking. His head tells him that's still a very tall order, 'I think it's a bit like dealing with a politician, asking Rachel Reeves or Keir Starmer when they're going to get it right,' he added. 'In football terms, it's the same. I think you're putting unnecessary pressure on yourself. The US-led revolution at Rangers has been warmly welcomed after years in the doldrums 'I'm a Rangers supporter and, like every other Rangers supporter, I hope it's sooner rather than later. I hope it's this year. The minute you try to attach logic to football, you'll come unstuck.' Souness is sure about one thing, though. When asked if he agreed with former director Paul Murray's view that this felt like the biggest moment for the club since he walked in the door, he fully concurred. 'Yes, 100 per cent,' he replied. 'These people understand soccer. Do they fully understand what Glasgow Rangers is about? I'm sure they have realised that this is a unique football club and a unique football experience. It's a very special football club. And working in the west of Scotland is quite unique, trust me.' Martin will feel more comfortable today than he did on Saturday evening. On the back of a feeble display at Motherwell, the 39-year-old publicly flayed the majority of his players for going through the motions throughout an opening-day draw. Anyone who was in any doubt as to who he felt was responsible was enlightened when the team-sheet for Tuesday's match with Viktoria Plzen dropped. James Tavernier, Nico Raskin, Danilo and Kieran Dowell were nowhere to be seen. 'He went early, but that's his style,' Souness said. 'You'd have to say that he's put his foot down pretty quickly. And I don't see that as a bad thing. 'I think you're putting a marker down that: 'I have my standards and you're going to have to come up to my standards to be a regular member or a starter in this team'. 'It's not about him dropping his standards to accommodate players.' This view is offered with the benefit of considerable experience. 'I expected the senior players to be the standard-bearers,' reflected Souness. 'They were the ones that had to set the standards within the dressing room. And that's how it should be. 'I'm a great believer that you don't have a successful football club unless you have good senior pros. And maybe he's expecting a bit more from some of the senior pros than he got at the weekend. 'I've been talking about Jock Stein a lot recently. I always felt Jock was harder on Kenny Dalglish and me with the Scottish team. 'I was frightened of him, although I'm not sure Kenny was! But the message was: 'If I can do that to them, you make sure you're on it'. 'Some people need a lot more love than others. I was lucky I didn't need any love.' Souness was present on Tuesday as the tough love imparted by Martin did the trick. A three-goal win against Viktoria Plzen planted one foot in the play-off round. Barring a disaster in the second leg, Rangers will face either Club Brugge or Salzburg for a place in the Champions League proper. Despite the last trip to the promised land under Giovanni van Bronckhorst being the most chastening experience imaginable, Souness refutes the suggestion that his old club would be better off in the Europa League. 'I was at the Liverpool game (a 7-1 loss) and it was a sore one,' he recalled. 'That night, Rangers just didn't believe they could get a result against them. They got rolled over far too easily. 'But you want to be in with the big boys. Every professional football player thinks he's proper. And, if you think that, then you want to be in against the very best. 'The Europa League might be more rewarding in terms of results, and you might go further in it. But I would take my chance in the Champions League. I want to play against the best.' As welcome as it was to see a largely positive sequence of European results continue on Tuesday, the main desire of Rangers supporters is for their side to return to the top of the pile in Scotland. Only then would the second revolution feel complete. 'Same old story. It's no good finishing second,' said Souness. 'I'm much-travelled, worked in several different countries. And I come back to this. It's the biggest rivalry in football, that I know of. The next one would be Galatasaray and Fenerbahce, and Manchester United and Liverpool. But this (Glasgow) is above that. 'The way I see football in this country, and I'll upset lots of football supporters, there are four institutions that are football clubs in this country: Liverpool, Man United, Rangers and Celtic. 'And why is it? It's because, as I see it, the passion that the supporters have for their own football clubs is beyond what I've seen anywhere else. It can certainly, if you're involved as I was, keep you awake at night.'
