Horse racing tips: ‘There's a huge performance in him' – Templegate's 10-3 NAP poised for a big one
TEMPLEGATE takes on Thursday's racing confident of banging in some winners.
Back a horse by clicking their odds below.
BLUE DAY (Haydock 3.47, nap)
The Harry Charlton-trained sprinter relished the drop back to five furlongs when winning with plenty in hand at Ascot last month. A 6lb rise is unlikely to anchor him and he gave the impression there was an even bigger performance in him. He's drawn on the wing of the field in stall one but Hector Crouch rides this track well and should be able to drop in early and get a perfect tow into the race.
Clocked a fast time when runner-up to a potential group performer over track and trip last month. She sets a very good standard the others have to reach.
HANDLETHEKETTLE (2.05 Ffos Las, treble)
He enjoyed a nice confidence boost over hurdles at Taunton and has the scope to do even better over fences.

Awesome £650,000 horse with ‘a hell of an engine' instantly made Royal Ascot favourite after astonishing debut
THIS awesome £650,000 horse with 'a hell of an engine' was instantly made a Royal Ascot favourite after an astonishing debut. Word had been strong for Karl Burke's Wathnan-owned two-year-old filly Zelaina ahead of her bow over 5f at Nottingham. 1 But even jockey James Doyle was taken aback by the ease with which she obliterated rivals after bursting out the gates. Making all, she sauntered over the line ahead of 4-1 Secret Oath, the three-quarter length margin of victory flattering the runner-up. Punters branded the breeze-up buy an 'absolute weapon' and said she was 'the one we were waiting for' - as bookies immediately made her favourite for the Queen Mary. Burke and Doyle teamed up to win it with Leovanni last year. And Zelaina is now Ascot-bound for the Group 2 on Wednesday, the second day of the five-day festival. Clearly buzzing afterwards, Wathnan's retained rider Doyle said: "She'd been doing the right things at home. "She wasn't 100 per cent coming here, she's a had a couple of things that meant she needed an easy time. "But Karl said she's very fast and she's shown she has an engine. "She caught me by surprise out the gates - then up into that stride and away she went. "She's quite hot so we'll do a few things to iron that out ahead of Ascot. "But she's got a hell of a big engine and a plenty of pace. "I was the last person to pull up but she just stood so I let her relax then just trotted her back. "She took quite a blow at the furlong pole but I expect her to come along fitness-wise. "She didn't have the perfect prep coming into today… so expect her to improve a lot." Bookies introduced Zelaina as 4-1 joint-fav alongside Lady Iman. But they were immediately forced to cut her and now she is a best 7-2 fav with the likes of William Hill. .

‘Here we go again' – Punter wins truly life-changing sum from £2 Lucky 15 to leave ‘stunned' bookies reeling
ONE savvy punter is saying merci beaucoup to William Hill after landing a colossal £53k from a £2 Lucky 15 placed on Wednesday's action in Dieppe, France. The remarkable win was secured at a William Hill shop in Cramlington, just north of Newcastle, where the mystery customer placed the modest £30 total stake before the morning races. The bet got off to a flying start with Register (10/1) winning the opening race at 10.20am. That success was followed up by impressive victories for Folly Foot (14/1) at 10.51am and Golden Falls (12/1) at 11.23am. The win was completed when Astorius (7/1) triumphed in the 11.55am contest, sealing the punter's massive five-figure return. Lee Phelps, spokesperson for William Hill, said: 'It was only on Monday that we were reeling from a £23k racing payout, and we're here again after another punter pulled off an even more remarkable bet. "They've managed to turn £30 into over £50k after landing their £2 Lucky 15 on this morning's action from Dieppe, placed in our Cramlington shop, just north of Newcastle. "It's not every day that you head to your local William Hill shop, place an each-way Lucky 15, and walk away with £53,220.20, so we just have to salute this customer. "We'll be hoping there aren't any more of these big racing winners on the horizon, as we've had our fill of them this week!"
