Horse racing tips: ‘Superstar will be bang there on return' – Templegate's NAP to score for Aidan O'Brien
TEMPLEGATE'S TIPS Horse racing tips: 'Superstar will be bang there on return' – Templegate's NAP to score for Aidan O'Brien TEMPLEGATE'S Sunday picks are below. Back a horse by clicking their odds. LAKE VICTORIA (3.40 Curragh, nap) Looked like a superstar in an unbeaten juvenile campaign that culminated in a trio of impressive Group 1 wins. She snagged top-level successes at 6f, 7f and the mile trip, running riot in the Cheveley Park before her remarkable win in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf. She was below her best on return in the 1,000 Guineas at Newmarket, but Aidan O'Brien's horses tend to improve for their returns and he has a habit of bringing them forward from below-par Guineas runs. KALPANA (3.05 Curragh, nb) Looked the real deal last season, rounding off the campaign in the manner of a filly going places. After winning Listed and Group 3 races at Hamilton and Kempton in a common canter, she stepped into Group 1 company at Ascot and ran riot in the British Champions Fillies & Mares on Champions Day. Given that she did not race as a juvenile, there has to be a lot of hope she will blossom even further as a four-year-old. MATTERHORN (3.48 Uttoxeter, 3.48) Paul Nicholls saddles this seven-year-old who should have more to offer upped in trip.

Moore upbeat as Lake Victoria has second shot at Classic glory
Aidan O'Brien's daughter of Frankel rattled off five straight wins last season, including elite-level victories in the Moyglare Stud Stakes here, the Cheveley Park at Newmarket and Del Mar's Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf. Following an interrupted preparation, she lost her unbeaten record when sixth in the English Guineas, but was only two and a half lengths adrift of Desert Flower. Ryan Moore will again be in the saddle and said in his World Pool blog: 'That run should bring her on, and she'll be much fitter this time. I certainly haven't lost any faith in her, and I expect her to show her true colours on Sunday. 'It's a high-quality race, with the second and third from the 1,000 Guineas lining up again, as well as three more unbeaten fillies, so it's competitive.' Ollie Sangster's Flight and Simmering were second and third respectively at Newmarket and reoppose, along with ninth-placed Duty First for Archie Watson. O'Brien also sends out seasonal debutant January, who was second to Desert Flower in in the May Hill at Doncaster and Newmarket's Fillies' Mile in the autumn. The Dermot Weld-trained Swelter steps up in class after comfortably making it two from two when upsetting Exactly in the Group Three Priory Belle at Leopardstown. Donnacha O'Brien's supplemented entry Atsila has a similar profile after following up a Bellewstown maiden win with success in the Athasi Stakes at the Curragh, while City Of Memphis made a victorious debut at Cork earlier this month for Paddy Twomey. Adrian Murray duo California Dreamer and Jaliyah, Cercene and Tamam Desert complete the line-up. Los Angeles and White Birch will renew rivalry in a mouthwatering renewal of the Tattersalls Gold Cup, just less than three weeks after a cracking course and distance encounter in the Mooresbridge Stakes. Last year's Irish Derby hero had a neck to spare in that tussle, but John Joseph Murphy's stable star White Birch was having his first outing since impressively seeing off Auguste Rodin in the 2024 renewal of this event. A strong British challenge is headed by Andrew Balding's Champions Fillies & Mares winner Kalpana and Anmaat, a surprise scorer in the Champion Stakes on the same Ascot card for Owen Burrows. Ghostwriter, who raced with credit in a series of Group One events last term and was most recently seen finishing fourth in the Dubai Turf, represents Clive Cox and Karl Burke's Royal Rhyme makes the journey from North Yorkshire. Multiple Group One winner Porta Fortuna will make her four-year-old debut in the Group Two Lanwades Stud Stakes and Coventry Stakes favourite Albert Einstein has his second start in the Group Three GAIN Marble Hill Stakes.
