TEMPLEGATE tackles Wednesday's racing confident of building the bank for another mega few days of action.
Back a horse by clicking their odds below.
ELECTROLYTE (2.50 Ascot, nap).
This speedy three-year-old already has some impressive form on his CV thanks to a really promising debut season.
He was beaten in a head-bobber for the Group 2 Coventry Stakes at the Royal meeting and finished the campaign with a battling win across the Channel at Chantilly.
In between, he proved seven furlongs was a bit too far at Glorious Goodwood and it looks like sprinting will always be his game. He likes quick ground and has gone well fresh before.
ISLE OF LISMORE (3.23 Ascot, nb)
Won one of the divisions of this race last season and is back to defend his title from 1lb lower in the handicap.
He was just two lengths off the pace on comeback at Newmarket earlier this month and should be much fitter today. We know this trip and track are right up his street.
Blew away the cobwebs with a highly encouraging third on the Rowley Mile two weeks ago.
He stays over his ideal trip and can has dropped nicely down the weights. Fast ground suits and he'll be right there again.

Ronnie O'Sullivan rekindles Laila Rouass romance as couple make £2m decision

Ronnie O'Sullivan is set to quit the UK for the Middle East after a series of snooker struggles over the past few months but his partner Laila Rouass looks set to join him after the pair got back together Snooker legend star Ronnie O'Sullivan has reportedly rekindled his relationship with former fiancee Laila Rouass just nine months after they separated. The Rocket announced his split from the Strictly Come Dancing star last year following 13 years together. And that split coincided with what was arguably O'Sullivan's most difficult spell on the snooker table. He had barely played in 2025 heading into this year's world championship. ‌ But it now appears that he has reconciled with Rouass, with reports suggesting that the pair are now together. According to The Sun, the couple are now back together and have plans to move to Dubai together. ‌ They have apparently put their £2million Epping Forest home up for sale ahead of the move. A source said: 'They have been back together for a while. The time apart gave them time to think about what they want and what is important to them — and that is being together. 'Ronnie is moving to the Middle East and Laila is going with him. They've talked about living in Dubai, which is just a two-hour flight from where Ronnie has his snooker academy in Saudi Arabia. 'He has spoken to people on his snooker circuit about the move and is excited about a clean break from the UK for him and Laila. They have had their issues in the past but Ronnie and Laila have worked through it and seem really happy again. The people who know them think they make a great couple and just want them to live a happy, quiet life.' 'They've been on and off before but Ronnie really wants to make it work with Laila," they added. "She will be joining him in the Middle East and they'll see how it goes.' The news of the couple's reunion comes after Rouass broke her silence on their original separation back in March. Taking to Instagram, she said: "Break ups can strip you down to your essence,' she wrote. 'I got through mine by using pain as fuel to take control because no matter what, we will lose parts of ourselves in relationships. It's normal, don't beat yourself up. ‌ Is Ronnie O'Sullivan the best snooker player of all time? Share your thoughts in the comments below "One thing I'm conscious of not doing is trying to get back where I was. No, I'm discovering who I've become. I've gone through various emotions... hurt, pain, anger but what I've realised about anger is that it's bottomless." O'Sullivan only reached the World Championship semi-finals in May and was eventually defeated by eventual champion Zhao Xintong at the Crucible.

Trinity College has all the answers in Hampton Court Stakes

With the formidable pair having already landed the Norfolk with Charles Darwin and the Ribblesdale with Garden Of Eden, French Derby fourth Trinity College was the 5-2 favourite for his Group Three assignment and dictated at the head of affairs from the start. Tornado Alert, fourth in the 2000 Guineas and sixth in the Derby, was Trinity College's nearest pursuer throughout and tried to keep tabs on him in the straight, but the winner found another gear inside the final furlong and was well on top as he passed the post with three and a half lengths in hand. O'Brien was delighted to see the son of Dubawi get his moment in the spotlight after his fine effort at Chantilly last time and said: 'It was a lovely run in the French Derby and Wayne (Lordan) rode him the last day and we were very happy. 'He wasn't beaten that far and he turned around the form with Detain (third in Chantilly) here. 'Ryan gave him a lovely, uncomplicated ride. He's a lovely, straightforward horse and his trip is a mile and a quarter. 'We've always thought he was a nice horse and he's only really started to progress now – you would have to be very happy with that. 'I would say 10 furlongs is his trip and he's very comfortable at that distance because he's not slow. 'He could go to America and there is an American Derby (at Churchill Downs) he could run in but the problem is it is only in a couple of weeks, so we will have to see how he is, it could be too soon. He's a good member of the team.' Trinity College provided Moore with his 90th winner at the Royal meeting, 17 years on from his first at the summer showpiece aboard Sir Michael Stoute's Colony. Moore said: 'It's great to get to 90. I've rode for great people for a lot of years and a lot of people who put in a lot of hard work and sweat. Obviously having Aidan in my corner is also a massive help.' Saeed bin Suroor is eager to get Tornado Alert's head in front next time. He said: 'He ran well to finish sixth in the Derby, and now second in a nice race here is good. He is improving. We will see how he comes out of this, but we will look for a Group Three race.' Glittering Legend was third for James Fanshawe but the trainer expects the horse to move to a new country now. He said: 'He ran really well. He got a bump early on, which just set him alight a bit, but he dropped his head really well and kept on well. 'Unfortunately, I think he's off to Hong Kong now, but he's done really well. I think it will turn out to be a good race.'
