TEMPLEGATE'S Tuesday picks are below. Back a horse by clicking their odds. HIERARCHY (3.45 Ffos Las, nap) The Osbornes got this game six-year-old back to winning ways with a battling success at Southwell last time out. He sat nicely behind the pace before coming home with a late rattle to nick the prize. He's back carrying a 5lb penalty which gives him every chance of following up under Saffie. LANGHOLM (3.00 Catterick, nb) Goes well here and dropping to this classified level can earn him another win. He was beaten less than three lengths in a fair handicap last time and a professional jockey takes over today. Has been knocking on the door over this trip. Andrew Balding's hopeful has had a nudge down the weights and looks ready to land an overdue victory on ground that suits.

Horse racing tips: Tuesday, August 5 – Catterick and Ffos Las
Ron Wood's selections NAP: Top Flight Century (3.30, Catterick) 1pt win @ 3/1 with William Hill ⭐⭐ Other: Dark Rosa (3.45, Ffos Las) 1pt win @ 5/2 with William Hill ⭐⭐ Odds provided by William Hill and correct at the time of writing. Stars denote strength of selection (max 5). If you already have a William Hill account, check out more free bets from the UK's best betting sites, reviewed by our experts 3.30 Catterick – Class 6 Handicap (2m; Racing TV) TOP FLIGHT CENTURY failed to progress as expected when with Sir Mark Prescott, but more recently he has found some form over hurdles, winning and finishing second at Perth in July. There's a fair chance he can prove ahead of a lowly official rating now he returns to the Flat and steps up to two miles for the first time in this discipline. 3.45 Ffos Las – Class 5 Handicap (6f; Sky Sports Racing) DARK ROSA has been a beaten favourite on her last four starts, but she keeps shaping better than the bare form suggests and this looks a good opportunity for her to add to a success gained last year. She didn't help herself with a slow start on her latest outing, but she kept on well for fifth in a more competitive race than this one, the form of which was boosted when the runner-up won next time. When is the next big horse racing festival? The next big one in Britain is the Ebor Festival at York, which runs from Wednesday August 20 to Saturday August 23. The headline race, the Ebor, is a valuable 1m 6f handicap on the Saturday. There are also four Group 1 contests, the showpiece being the 1m 2f Juddmonte International on the Wednesday. The Eclipse 1-2, Delacroix and Ombudsman, head the betting for what looks like being a fascinating rematch. The other Group 1s are the 1m 4f Yorkshire Oaks (Thursday), the 5f Nunthorpe Stakes (Friday) and the 7f City of York Stakes (Saturday), which is upgraded to top-level status for the first time. What does NAP mean? NAP is a word used in betting circles to describe a prediction that a tipster thinks has a particularly strong chance of winning. Many horse racing tipsters pick out a 'NAP of the day', which is their favoured selection from all the races across the different meetings. The term NAP derives from the French card game Napoleon. When players of this game thought they had a particularly strong hand that they would win with, they would shout 'Napoleon'.

Horse racing tips: ‘She relishes every yard of this trip' – Templegate's 3-1 NAP can land a quickfire double
TEMPLEGATE tackles Wednesday's racing confident of building the bank for a huge few days at Newmarket's July Festival. Back a horse by clicking their odds below. LADY MARIKO (5.10 Yarmouth, nap) There was a lot to like about the way she got her head in front at Wetherby last time. She came from a good way back and battled right to the line, relishing every yard of this distance. The handicapper has been fair with a 2lb rise in the weights and she looks capable of improvement. Noisy Music looks the main danger after a good run on the all-weather at Southwell last time out. BEACH POINT (5.50 Kempton, nb) He made it six places from his past seven races when second at Leicester last time. This looks a good chance to get his head back in front with the step up in distance likely to suit. He has a top pilot in Mason Paetel on board in this apprentice race. ROGUE ENDEAVOUR (7.10 Ffos Las, treble) He went down in a tight finish over a similar trip at Bath 14 days ago. He likes to go from the front and his capable claimer Elizabeth Gale is full value for her 7lb. TOMMY'S PROMISE (4.10 Yarmouth, Lucky 15) He has few miles on the clock and just over half a length away when second here last time. He is proven over this trip and looks dangerous again from his basement handicap mark of 49. . Remember to gamble responsibly A responsible gambler is someone who:
