Horse racing tips: ‘Stacks of staying power and class to match' – Templegate's 9-4 NAP thrives under this jockey

TEMPLEGATE tackles Friday's racing confident of boosting the coffers for a blistering Saturday of action. Back a horse by clicking their odds below. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up SWEET WILLIAM (3.45 York, nap) He will be delighted there's no Kyprios in the line-up as he chased home the staying superstar a couple of times last season. The Gosden runner had his own days in the sun too when winning the Henry II Stakes at Sandown and the Doncaster Cup. He ended his campaign with another excellent effort behind Kyprios in Ascot's Long Distance Cup. We know he has lots of staying power and he gets on well with regular rider Rab Havlin who can use all his experience in what could be a tactical race. Rebel's Romance has been well backed but he's going beyond 1m4f for the first time at this late stage of his career which has to be a worry. St Leger winner Continuous may be a bigger threat while Aidan O'Brien is in such sizzling form. GLITTERING SURF (3.13 York, nb) She has won her two lifetime starts without breaking sweat on the all-weather and can keep that run going on turf for in-form trainer Owen Burrows. He is running at almost 50 per cent winners this season. This mile trip is ideal and there should be a lot more in the locker with fast ground highly likely to suit. ROYAL APPROVAL (2.25 Newbury, treble) This son of Cracksman showed some promising signs on his turf return at Doncaster last time out. He sees out this 1m2f stronly and has had a little nudge down the weights. He looks massively overpriced and it would no shock to see him make the frame at least.

Kyprios starts out on ‘usual route' to Royal Ascot at Navan

After picking up an injury in the stalls before the Queen's Vase at Royal Ascot when three, he returned to win all six races at four, including the Gold Cup. However, he missed almost all of the next year due to a serious injury and O'Brien repeatedly praises his staff for bringing him back to his brilliant best. Two seconds on his return from that lay-off in the Irish Leger and the Long Distance Cup at Ascot set him up perfectly for last season when he won all seven races, including another Gold Cup among four Group Ones. 'Everyone loves Kyprios, he's a great horse and we've been delighted with him at home,' said O'Brien. 'The plan is to run him at Navan and then take the usual route, on to Leopardstown for the Saval Beg and then hopefully Ascot.' The long odds-on favourite faces seven rivals, with Willie McCreery's Enfranchise closest to him in the betting. Also on the card, O'Brien runs Whistlejacket and Ides Of March against Cowardofthecounty in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Committed Stakes, while Paddy Twomey's Catalina Delcarpio looks to back up her impressive debut success in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Salsabil Stakes.

Kyprios starts out on ‘usual route' to Royal Ascot at Navan

It is the third time Aidan O'Brien has chosen the one-mile-six-furlong Listed heat as the comeback point for Kyprios, who is without doubt the pre-eminent stayer of his generation. After picking up an injury in the stalls before the Queen's Vase at Royal Ascot when three, he returned to win all six races at four, including the Gold Cup. However, he missed almost all of the next year due to a serious injury and O'Brien repeatedly praises his staff for bringing him back to his brilliant best.
