Horse racing tips: ‘Anything close to his best will do' – Ryan Moore to steer Templegate's NAP to victory
TEMPLEGATE tackles a cracking Wednesday of racing confident of smashing the bookies.

INISHERIN (3.13 York, nap)
Ryan Moore has been clocking up the big-race wins and this four-year-old can add to his tally. He did really well last season for trainer Kevin Ryan. After not staying in the 2,000 Guineas, he was wisely dropped back to this six-furlong trip. That saw him win the Sandy Lane at Haydock before a brilliant Commonwealth Cup victory at Royal Ascot. It's true that he dipped towards the end of the season but he's back having had a wind op and with Moore in the saddle for the first time. He likes to be up with the pace — which is usually a smart move at York — and anything close to his best form would do the job.
GALLANT (4.18 York, nb)
Looks ready to hit the target for Andrew Balding. He caught the eye with a fast-finishing fourth on handicap debut at Newmarket last time. Oisin Murphy got his timing slightly wrong there and this three-year-old had lots left crossing the line. The handicapper has generously knocked him down 1lb despite that promising run and stepping up to seven furlongs looks a wise move. He likes decent ground and should take a big step forward today.
STRESSFREE (2.10 York, treble)
He didn't live up to his name at Epsom last time when he got no luck in running before going down by a length. That was an excellent effort in the circumstances and he should be happy stepping up in trip today. He has been placed on his past two visits to York and can more than match that today.

Clash of the Guineas winners shaping up in St James's Palace Stakes at Royal Ascot
Royal Ascot's St James's Palace Stakes is shaping up into a vintage clash, although one star name likely to miss the mile contest is Jonquil. Runner-up to Henri Matisse in the French 2,000 Guineas, the Juddmonte owned colt is likely to step down to six furlongs for the Commonwealth Cup at the prestigious meeting later this month. Juddmonte's Irish 2,000 Guineas winner Field Of Gold is a warm favourite for the St James's Palace following his impressive Curragh victory. That came on the back of an unlucky defeat to Ruling Court at Newmarket and the latter's late defection from Saturday's Derby opens the prospect of a three-way clash of Europe's three major Guineas winners. READ MORE It leaves Jonquil's trainer Andrew Balding contemplating a different Royal Ascot route. 'Jonquil is really good since France and obviously we're hoping for Royal Ascot and he has a number of engagements there,' he said. 'I think the most likely at this stage is dropping him back to six for the Commonwealth Cup but it's all in the mix. I'd hope he has enough speed for that.' Aidan O'Brien is chasing a record-extending 10th success in the prestigious mile contest for three-year-olds and appears likely to rely on Henri Matisse. The 'Poulains' winner had his stable companion, the subsequent French Derby winner Camille Pissarro, back in third at Longchamp but is rated third best of the Guineas winners by most firms. In other news, Godolphin's Kentucky Derby winner Sovereignty confirmed his Churchill Downs form with Journalism to land the Belmont Stakes at Saratoga on Saturday. Journalism had landed the second leg of the US Triple Crown, the Preakness Stakes, in the interim with Godolphin and trainer Bill Mott opting to skip that Pimlico event to wait for the Belmont. It paid off as Sovereignty proved too strong for his rival in the closing stages. 'We had a repeat of the Derby – the first three finishers in the Derby finished one-two-three here – and the form is holding up. They are three really good horses and I'm glad that Sovereignty was able to come back and put in a race like he did in the Derby. 'If we hadn't won today, we would have taken a lot of criticism for missing the Preakness, but it turned out good. Sometimes, you make the right decision and a lot of times you make the wrong ones. Today, it really worked out well,' Mott said. Monday's domestic action is again over jumps and this time it is an all-steeplechase card at Roscommon. Navan's Saturday programme was the sole weekend flat action in Ireland, while Punchestown raced over jumps on both days. The National Hunt focus will continue to Sligo on Tuesday before Limerick on Wednesday hosts a card on the level. Gordon Elliott's high-class hurdler Pied Piper has won both his starts over fences to date and goes again in a four-runner novice chase at Roscommon. The mare Zenta gets a sizeable chunk of weight, but it may not be enough.

AIDAN O'BRIEN'S No2 Lambourn stunned his big hope Delacroix to land the Derby - as a load of the big guns flopped in the £1.5million Epsom blockbuster.
