NEWFANGLED (8.45 Windsor, nap)
Jonathan Portman's improving four-year-old has been in fine form this year and followed a close third at Newbury with a battling victory here last time out. He is best over this mile trip and a 2lb rise in the weights looks fair. He stays in the same grade today and is more than capable of following up.
TWILIGHT GUEST (4.10 Brighton, nb)
He had been threatening to win for a while and came good with lots left in his locker over course and distance six days ago. He's back out quickly under a penalty and won't mind the quicker conditions he faces today. Jockey David Egan can steer him home.
JETTIE'S RUN (6.45 Windsor, treble)
Signed off last season by winning at Kempton and should take a big step forward this season for Ralph Beckett who continues in fine form. She has lots of pace and will enjoy decent ground.
VICTORS DREAM (5.15 Brighton)
Is worth a place in the Lucky 15. He has a good record at this quirky track and was beaten in a tight finish here last time. He has plenty of speed for this trip and should be right there in similar company.

Templegate's ‘overpriced' Oaks tip, 1-2-3 prediction and complete runner-by-runner guide to £570,000 Epsom Classic
TEMPLEGATE delivers his complete guide, tip and 1-2-3 prediction for the awesome Epsom Oaks below. Nine of the finest three-year-old fillies in the land go to post for the prestigious Group 1 run over 1m4f. 1 Desert Flower has been the long-time favourite for the Oaks on the back of her dominant 1,000 Guineas victory Credit: PA He goes through each of the runners, rates them out of five stars and delivers his big-race tip at the bottom. Aidan O'Brien has dominated the Classic trials - but one legendary jockey reckons this Back any horse you fancy by clicking their odds below and check out the The action will be live on ITV1 at 4pm Friday. Epsom Derby 2025 free bets: Best new sign up offers - HERE Templegate's Oaks runner-by-runner guide and ratings DESERT FLOWER 4 FLOWER in bloom. Charlie Appleby's filly has yet to taste defeat in five starts and kept that run going with a smooth success in the 1,000 Guineas on comeback. Most read in Horse Racing She was a brilliant juvenile and took the Group 1 Fillies' Mile by five lengths after the May Hill at Donny. There's little doubt she's the best filly in the race with stamina the only question mark. She wasn't stopping at Newmarket and isn't a keen sort so isn't likely to pull her chance away. At first glance, her breeding does seem to scream a mile and the softish ground may play to more of a stayer. Despite that her class will take her close under William Buick who is a big-race jockey. ELWATEEN 5 TEEN dream. We have only seen this daughter of Dubawi twice but she has created a big impression. She won at Kempton on debut in August before Saeed Bin Suroor put her away. Her next outing was a really promising fourth in the 1,000 Guineas where she was definitely doing her best work in the closing stages. She was a little green when the pace hotted up and she will have learned plenty before being supplemented for this test. Her dam stayed 1m2f strongly in soft ground so there's every chance she'll relish this trip. Saeed is something of a forgotten trainer these days but he's got two Oaks wins from his halcyon days so knows what it takes to win. GISELLE 3 ELLE of a filly. She only had two rivals to beat in the Lingfield Oaks Trial on comeback last month but did it by nine easy lengths. She handled the track so should be fine at Epsom too. She is one of the few in the field who has no stamina doubts and there's a lot more to come. She scored on dead ground as a juvenile and has a lively each-way chance for Aidan O'Brien. GO GO BOOTS 2 KICK off Boots. Considering Oisin Murphy is on board for the Gosdens, she is big price for all she has a bit to find on form. Her third in the Musidora at York last time was far from a disgrace. She looked very much a work in progress on the Knavesmire and ran around a bit in the closing stages. That's not what you want to see before tackling tricky Epsom and she looks more suited to the Ribblesdale at Royal Ascot next month. MINNIE HAUK 3 HAUK has to fly. Ryan Moore's choice of the Aidan O'Brien trio crossed the line with plenty left when winning the Cheshire Oaks on comeback. She will definitely come on for that run and is guaranteed to see out the extra furlong here. Handling Chester often means Epsom will be fine too. On the negative side, she didn't beat a lot on the Roodee so will need to fine more form-wise although O'Brien runners often take a big step up for a run. QILIN QUEEN 2 QUEEN won't be crowned. She is progressing nicely for Ed Walker and battled all the way to win a Newbury Listed race last time. That was on the nod from Revoir who also lines up today. That was over 1m2f when she went from the front and just held on so stamina may be an issue. Either way, it's a fair leap to be winning a Classic on current form. REVOIR 3 REVVED up. The line came a stride too soon when she finished second to Qilin Queen at Newbury last time but Ralph Beckett's filly looks a hotter prospect. She came home strongly so should be suited by this step up in distance and has improvement to come after just two starts. In-form Beckett's fillies often come on significantly for a run and she's right in the each-way picture. WEMIGHTAKEDLONGWAY 2 WAY out. Add an extra star if the ground is riding genuinely soft as she relished testing conditions when winning a Navan Group 3 over 1m2f last time. That was a big improvement on her effort in the Ballysax on comeback where she looked a mile off Oaks standard. She has a fair bit to find on form so needs that downpour. WHIRL 4 GIVE it a Whirl. She may yet prove to be the best of the Aidan O'Brien runners after her easy Musidora win at York last time. That has been a useful pointer to the Oaks and she had lots of running left at the end of 1m2f so stamina shouldn't be an issue. She seems to handle any ground and looks capable of improvement under Wayne Lordan. Templegate's Oaks tip and 1-2-3 prediction SAEED Bin Suroor has got an El of a chance in the £570,000 Betfred Oaks. ELWATEEN (4.00 Epsom, nap) caught the eye with a staying-on fourth in the 1,000 Guineas and can blossom over this longer trip. She won't mind a bit of cut in the ground and can go close at decent odds under Jim Crowley. Desert Flower showed her class when winning the Guineas at Newmarket and will be hard to beat if lasting home — which isn't guaranteed on pedigree. Ryan Moore has chosen Minnie Hauk of the Aidan O'Brien trio but there isn't much between her, Giselle and Whirl who all have each-way chances. 1st Elwateen 2nd Desert Flower 3rd Whirl FREE BETS - GET THE BEST SIGN UP DEALS AND RACING OFFERS Commercial content notice: Taking one of the offers featured in this article may result in a payment to The Sun.

Horse racing tips: ‘Her form keeps stacking up' – Templegate's NAP poised to strike for shrewd connections
TEMPLEGATE takes on Thursday's action confident of building the bank for Epsom. Back a horse by clicking their odds below. ETERNAL SUNSHINE (2.42 Hamilton, nap) She should really be coming here looking for a hat-trick after narrow defeats at Musselburgh and Ayr. Jim Goldie's mare was caught on the wrong part of the track last time and did well to be beaten just half a length. This is a good chance to get on top. MESAAFI (4.55 Lingfield, nb) Comes here without a penalty for winning at Chelmsford on Sunday. He relishes this trip on the all-weather and he can deliver in the same grade as last time out. KEYBAAR (3.20 Lingfield, treble) Created a good impression when third on debut at Kempton. William Haggas has given him a little break since then and he looks ready to get off the mark. DEEP PURPLE (2.00 Uttoxeter, Lucky 15) Showed promise when beaten less than three lengths on handicap debut at Warwick. He drops back into novice company for the Skeltons with a huge chance.

Horse racing tips: ‘She won't be caught quick out the gate' – Templegate's 7-2 NAP
TEMPLEGATE tackles Wednesday's racing confident of bashing the bookies and building the pot for Derby weekend. Back a horse by clicking their odds below. THUNDEROUS LOVE (3.22 Nottingham, nap) She made a cracking start to the season with a win on the sand at Southwell before following up nicely here two runs ago. Her hat-trick bid was thwarted by a shockingly slow start at Salisbury which gave her little chance. She's usually better away at the stalls and can get back on track with a speedier start in this modest race. MR JETMAN (7.22 Ripon, nb) He was impressive when scoring over course and distance 17 days ago. He has never been out of the frame at this Yorkshire track and should be right there again. RIDE THE THUNDER (4.55 Nottingham, treble) Has been second on all three starts and can go one better. He shapes as though this step up in distance will suit. ORIONIS (6.50 Ripon) Looks good for the Lucky 15. She took a fair step forward when second at Chester last time and looks ready to win for William Haggas.
