Horse racing tips: ‘She won with loads in hand last time' – Templegate's 6-4 NAP can complete a four-timer
TEMPLEGATE takes on a busy Sunday of racing confident of banging in some winners. Remember, you can back a horse by clicking on their odds below. FINEST VIEW (3.13 Stratford, nap) She is chasing a fantastic four-timer and was impressive over course and distance last time, tanking along before quickening away. She's still improving and has a cracking chance of going in again from just 1lb higher in the weights. HIDDEN VERSE (5.45 Redcar, nb) Won with loads in hand at Chepstow on Thursday. He's clearly on the up and should take some stopping, even with a penalty. Stepping up to this sharp six furlongs holds no fears. ELEMENTAL EYE (3.25 Redcar, treble) Has been knocking on the door and this looks a good chance. This marathon trip and ground suit and he's well in off the same mark as a good Ayr effort.

I'm a female sports presenter, here's what it's really like being a pundit, you wouldn't believe the sexism I have faced
THIS summer the spotlight is truly on women when it comes to the world of sport. With the Lionesses storming into the semi-finals of the Euros and the 5 Reshmin Chowdhury has opened up about the sexism and racism she suffered as a sports presenter Credit: The Sun 5 She says that people would mistake her for someone who was there to make the tea and take notes Credit: Getty However, unfortunately despite their incredible achievements so many women in the industry are still at the receiving end of toxic sexist comments as Reshmin Chowdhury knows all too well. 'I had to fight hard to be a female sports presenter,' Reshmin, 47, says. 'It wasn't easy and I tackled racism and sexism in sport reporting to forge my career. 'There was no playbook for me to follow to get to the job I have now.' Read More on Women's Sport Mum Reshmin, lives in London with her daughter, 12 and 12 year old son while dividing her time appearing as a presenter and sports commentator on TNT Sports and hosting Game Day Exclusive on talkSPORT on Saturday mornings. In the last five years she's made headlines fronting the FIFA World Cup in Qatar for BeIN Sports, covering the Tokyo 2020 Olympic and Beijing 2022 Winter Olympic Games for Eurosport and Discovery Plus, and helping helm the UEFA Euro 2000 for ITV Sport. Reshmin says: 'If you had told me 30 years ago this would be my job, I'd have said you were crazy. 'I would have laughed it off as an impossible dream. Most read in Celebrity 'Now I know through the ups and downs the impossible is possible. 'It's been hard to get here, and I have fought some tough battles to be accepted.' Reshmin Chowdhury talks about ethnic prejudice in sports broadcasting Reshmin grew up in East London, raised in what she describes as an open minded and progressive Bengali Muslim family. She says: 'Aunts and uncles surrounded me and I grew up supported by a huge second-generation community where education, culture, religion, and music constantly celebrated.' As a teenager Reshmin admitted she was sports crazy. 'My brother and I would obsessively watch everything from Wimbledon to football together,' she says. 'I was a 'sports nerd girl' - that was unusual but when it came to facts and figures about all different types of sport I lived and breathed them.' After leaving school Reshmin graduated from the University of Bath with a degree in politics and economics. In 2003 she completed a post graduate diploma in newspaper journalism at Harlow College. 'I had a degree in politics and started doing low level assistant jobs in newsrooms and that made sense to people,' she says. 5 She has also opened up at her annoyance over nepo babies Credit: Talking Futures 5 Reshmin says it was always her dream to work in sport Credit: Alamy 'I had a politics degree, and I was training as a news reporter. 'The thought of a British Bengali woman being fascinated by sport and becoming an expert sports commentator was something most people didn't even consider possible. 'I soon realised I didn't want to be pigeonholed. 'I wanted to be a TV presenter and reporter, and I wanted to do sport. 'When you factor in, I was not just a woman but a British Asian woman and the odds were pretty much stacked against me.' Reshmin admits she thrives on challenges saying the key to her success was a passion for sport and a desire to prove people wrong. 'I went through a number of years knowing what I wanted to do but not knowing how to get into TV presenting and reporting,' she says. 'There was no guidance or even training programmes then which could be followed when I was starting out. There were times it was unpleasant. It wasn't right Reshmin Chowdhury 'Diversity hiring wasn't common then and I didn't use that track to jumpstart my career.' Reshmin admits she found herself constantly having to prove to potential bosses and colleagues she knew all the ins and outs of football. 'Everyday was a test, a test to be recognised and taken seriously,' she says. 'I'd be asked questions in the office or even on air about unusual football facts or players and I knew if I got something wrong, I'd be judged negatively 'There were times it was unpleasant. It wasn't right. 'There were times people thought I was there to take notes or make the coffee. Ultimate sports presenters rich list TV sports presenters make a mint.

Laura Woods is dominating the media landscape at the moment, leading TNT Sports' coverage and ITV's. Alex Scott and Jermaine Jenas are two of the fresher faces for the BBC's sporting output.

But like it or not women have to even today. 'I'm not full of myself but looking back I am proud I could pioneer a small path for other British Asian women in the competitive field of sports reporting world.' Reshmin admits that she finds the rise of nepo babies, children who are successful because of their parents, 'annoying'. 'When I started my TV career, I didn't have an 'in',' she says. 'We've all seen an increase in nepo babies - the children of the rich and famous all over the world getting jobs on the back of their parents. 'It puts so much pressure on those kids and it isn't fair on other people. Some children from non-famous families give up because they feel the system is rigged.' Reshmin admits she also has her hands full juggling motherhood and a high-profile career and struggles with mum-guilt. 'My children were born 20 months apart and I took time off to care for them,' she says. 'I came back and had to work extra hard to catch up. 'It's not a complaint, it's just what happens in the work of competitive sports journalism. 'I always have mum guilt. I worry I am not doing enough and have to be regimented with my time.' Would they have asked a man to jump through hoops in sports journalism? Of course not Reshmin Chowdhury Reshmin has partnered with 'I know the pressure kids feel in the lead up to GCSE's, A- Levels, and mock exams,' she says. 'Many are making huge decisions before summer holidays about leaving school, starting college, or getting jobs. 'I know just how vulnerable many teens feel and how confused they are about these live altering decisions. 'That's why the Career Transfer Hub is such a great solution to getting parents – like me – more engaged. 'It's time we used the same passion and time we give to football to help our teens take their next step. "Whether it's T-levels, apprenticeships, HTQs or other options, these are the real career-defining transfers – and our teens deserve our full support.' 5 Reshmin has teamed up with Rio Ferdinand to support the Talking Futures campaign Credit: Talking Futures

Horse racing tips: ‘It all points to a win for this Shadwell stunner' – Templegate's 11-4 NAP is all class
TEMPLEGATE takes on a busy Saturday of racing confident of banging in some winners. Back a horse by clicking their odds below - and check out Sun Racing's ENFJAAR (1.50 Newbury, nap) This son of Lope De Vega had more traffic problems than a London cabbie in the Wolferton at Royal Ascot last time. Jockey Jim Crowley was travelling sweetly passing the 2f pole but it quickly descended into a barging match with this five-year-old coming out much the worst on the rail. He did well to keep going for fourth and the long straight at Newbury will hopefully give him more time to see daylight. If he does, he can land this nice prize for Roger Varian as trip and ground are ideal. KIND OF BLUE (2.57 Newbury, nb) Will be hard to beat if showing anything like his best form. He finished last season with an impressive Group 1 win in the Champions Sprint at Ascot over this distance. That was on soft ground but he's fine with quicker conditions too. COURTLAND (3.12 Market Rasen, treble) Can score on debut for in-form trainer Mickey Bowen. He loves this right-handed track and is on a fair mark in the Summer Plate. ABERAMA GOLD (7.05 Newmarket, Lucky 15) Turned back the clock with a smart win at York last time out. The handicapper has been more than fair with a 2lb rise. Most read in Horse Racing Templegate's TV verdicts MARKET RASEN 2.05 BROUGHSHANE makes his debut for Mickey Bowen who won this race 12 months ago with a similar type. He showed some decent form when with Jonjo O'Neill and looks potentially well handicapped wearing blinkers for the first time. Mostly Sunny is consistent and went close in good company at Uttoxeter last time. He likes this trip and rider Harry Atkins takes a handy 6lb off the Skelton runner. Maghlaak wasn't disgraced in a Group 3 on the Flat at York last time and is coming down the weights. His class should take him a long way. Deploy To Spy didn't have a lot to beat at Worcester last month but he did it nicely enough. A 3lb rise in the weights is fair and the cheekpieces may eke out some improvement. Benvoy is interesting back after a break. He had 10 lengths in hand when winning a novice contest at Ascot in March and is open to plenty of improvement. 2.40 SIR GALAHAD can stretch his 100 per cent hurdling record to five in this hot handicap. The improving four-year-old has been doing everything right for Olly Murphy and looked a cut above when brushing aside a fair field at Worcester last time. With the form boosted since, this sharper test looks ideal and he's taken to land the prize. Last year's first and second Castel Gandolfo and Kihavah return for another crack. The former is a Market Rasen specialist and warmed up with a cosy win here last month, but Kihavah looks the one with more upside. He was unlucky in this race 12 months ago and shaped well behind top-class opposition at Ayr in April. With a likely strong pace, he should be finishing best. D Day Arvalenreeva is three from three this year and routed her rivals here in March. With course form and a fair weight, she's a major each-way player. Brave Knight and Moon Chime should both like this test and are on the shortlist. 3.12 COURTLAND can keep Mickey Bowen's fantastic form going in the Summer Plate. The Welsh wizard is running at near to 50 per cent winners in the past fortnight and this 10-year-old showed promise at Cartmel after a break last time. Here's my guide to the runners, with one the worst and five the best: HANG IN THERE 3 HANG on. Dropped below mark of 2024 Summer Cup win. Trip suits and can run well if things fall right. HORANTZAU D'AIRY 3 MILK D'Airy. Debut for new yard today. Has ability and well treated if repeating solid comeback second. RISKINTHEGROUND 3 NO Risk. Strong traveller who will enjoy a fast-run race and stays. Can place if fit enough. CHARLIE UBERALLES 2 DON'T call Uber. Two easy Cartmel wins but up in class and more pace pressure now. Needs to find more. THE FLIER BEGLEY 4 OFF to Flier. Loves it here and battled well to win Plate Trial. Reliable and looks a big place price. SURE TOUCH 4 LAND a Touch. Won this race last year and 1lb lower today. Been in poor form and cheekpieces go on but should show his true for. BHALOO 2 LOO break. Can make errors and pieces go on. Trip and track suit and from top yard but needs bit more. COURTLAND 5 PROMISED Land. Solid third behind Charlie Uberalles after long break. Well handicapped and loves Rasen. Big say for in-form yard. VINTAGE FIZZ 2 FIZZ flat. Neck second to The Flier Begley in the Trial. Solid, consistent but this is tougher. STATUARIO 3 SOLID Stat. Good win at Perth latestand stays well. Up fair 2lb in tougher race but looks in the mix. BALLYSAX HANK 4 SAX in tune. Lightly raced chaser from canny Irish yard. Good hurdles run latest. Unexposed and interesting with Cobden on board. MR SAXOBEAT 1 MISS Beat. One win from 32 jumps starts and looks short of this grade. DOYOUKNOWWHATIMEAN 1 DO not. Worcester winner before decent third latest but up in class here. No weight but needs more. CEANNDANA 3 CEAN machine. Back from break with promising third at Tipperary and stays. No shock if he runs well. SHAKEYATAILFEATHER 1 FEATHER light. Won twice last season and fair run at Hexham on comeback. Stays but will have to improve plenty at this level. NEWBURY 1.50 ENFJAAR should have finished a lot closer than fourth in the Wolferton at Royal Ascot. Jim Crowley had a double handful passing the 2f pole before meeting chronic traffic problems. Hopefully Newbury's long straight will give Jim a chance to find a bit more room as he's got a massive chance if he does. Okeechobee needed the run when fourth in a Kempton Listed on return in April. He's had another break since but has enough ability to figure. The ground may be a bit quick for Ancient Wisdom who has been gelded since his Coronation Cup fourth. Rashabar looks a bigger threat after his fourth in the St James's Palace provided he sees out this trip. 2.25 If WONDER LEGEND can bring his all-weather form to the turf he'll take a lot of stopping. He found the Ascot Gold Cup too much last time and this is much more his level as he showed when winning the Marathon handicap at Newcastle two runs ago. He stays well and looks a fair each-way price in a trappy race. Kyle Of Lochalsh was third in this last year off this mark and has been laid out for another crack. He has had a break since running at Southwell in April and could show the benefit of that. Wild Waves was a solid third in the Queen Alexandra at Royal Ascot and is guaranteed to stay. He's a contender along with Artistic Star who found the Ascot Stakes a bit far last time out. 2.57 KIND OF BLUE wasn't happy on the all-weather at Newcastle last time and can show his true colours here. He signed off last season winning the Group 1 Champions Sprint at Ascot so has lots of ability and all ground suits. Regional is the form horse after a cracking third in the King Charles III at Royal Ascot. That was over 5f but he's got smart form at this trip too and looks the big danger. Elite Status is always respected at this level although it's a little while since he showed his best. The first-time cheekpieces may help. Jarraaf didn't fire when fancied for the Wokingham last time and the blinkers go on. He's well up to this standard if finding his best form under William Buick. 3.30 ANT can deck 'em in the £250,000 Weatherbys Super Sprint. ANTHELIA (3.30 Newbury) showed great pace when winning her first three outings, including a Listed contest. She didn't enjoy six furlongs at Newmarket last time and trainer Rod Millman wisely drops her back. That can see her score again. Havana Hurricane was very impressive at Royal Ascot and looks a big threat at a skinny price. Here's my big-race guide: RAAKEB 4 RAA talent. Tough and consistent colt who's held his own in Group races. Drop to 5f not ideal but class brings him into the mix despite top weight. BIG FUN 2 FUN bagged. Showed good pace when winning last time but hasn't beaten a lot. Needs big step forward to figure. SANDS OF SPAIN 3 SANDS storm. Back-to-back wins at Carlisle and Newcastle read well and has pace. Big price from big yard. AMBISHIO 2 SHIO must go. Beaten a head in modest Beverley maiden last time but not a bad time. Needs a lot more at this level. LOGI BEAR 2 BEAR with him. Flopped in Windsor Castle but useful early form includes easy Newmarket win. Drop to 5f not sure to suit but yard likes this race. ARDISIA 1 ARD to fancy. Struggled in Listed at Ascot and needs big bounce-back. Well drawn but personal best required. HAVANA HURRICANE 4 HAV a go hero. Impressive Windsor Castle winner who has strong speed figures. Loves fast ground and sets the standard on all known form. Big player. KAMAKAMELEON 4 KAM fan. Ran huge when fifth in Windsor Castle at 80-1. Must settle better but no fluke about latest effort. Interesting outsider. MISTER MOET 1 MOET popped. Carlisle novice winner two back then outclassed in Haydock nursery. Needs more at this level. ALI SHUFFLE 4 ALI a knockout. Started season brightly with three wins and placed in French Group 3. Flopped at Deauville but quick ground suits and may bounce back. Has pace and experience. IRISH FIGHTER 2 KO Fighter. Won easily at Windsor last time but ninth in the Norfolk suggests limitations. Likely to find a few too sharp. GAGA MATE 1 GO Gaga. Catterick maiden winner who placed at Ffos Las latest. Never landed a blow in Windsor Castle. Up against far better form horses now. UNDER THE RADAR 1 OFF Radar. Thirsk winner in May but struggled since. Has speed but outclassed based on latest run at Carlisle. Unlikely to get involved. ANTHELIA 5 ANT has bite. Listed winner at Sandown in May and fifth in hot Newmarket contest latest when not enjoying 6f. Improving filly with more to come. Strong shout. ARTISTA 1 ART critic. Beverley maiden winner but well beaten in Group 2 latest. Likely outclassed again here and exposed compared to more progressive rivals. Hard to see her getting involved. SON OF SARABI 1 SORRY Son. Runner-up in nursery at York last time when just nabbed near the line. Good attitude but may lack class in a red-hot race. First-time cheekpieces go on too. CALL ME BY MY NAME 1 CALL it off. Placed twice in ordinary maidens and out of depth in the Windsor Castle at Royal Asco when 21st. Looks well short of this standard. COTAI BELLE 3 BELLE of the ball. Won last two including nursery at Haydock and looks on the upgrade. Drawn in mid-pack and worth a second look. May outrun her odds coming with a late rattle. CORNICHE GIRL 1 BAD Girl. Yet to win and hasn't beaten much in three outings. Form looks some way short of what's needed although she comes from Richard Hannon who loves this race. Difficult to fancy on current profile. OUR CODY 4 COOL Cody. Cost just three grand but is a Windsor maiden winner who made all in decent time. Plenty more to come and yard landed a Group 1 sprint last week. Could get loose on the lead. Danger to all.
