Horse racing tips: ‘She has a progressive profile' – Templegate's big Sunday NAP runs at Haydock
TEMPLEGATE'S TIPS
TEMPLEGATE'S picks on Sunday are below.
Back a horse by clicking their odds.
LORNA B (5.45 Haydock, nap)
She has a progressive profile and has yet to taste defeat in handicaps this summer. What makes her stand out at this level is her battling qualities in a finish. The handicapper keeps putting more lead in the saddle and she keeps on finding that little bit extra. It's likely to be the same story today and she can land a deserved hat-tick under Dale Swift.
GRANDLAD (5.15 Haydock, nb)
He looks a tasty price given he was back to his best last time, is effective at 5f and looks well drawn to pull off his favourite front-running tactics. This is a tougher challenge than last time but he's a sprinter in form.
She won nicely at Lingfield last time and looks open to improvement for the Kublers. That was an apprentices' race so the handicapper has left her mark alone and she'll be dangerous on this step up to a mile.
