Big Mojo handed Sandy Lane assignment at Haydock
Trainer Mick Appleby hopes to see his stable star book his place in the Commonwealth Cup at Royal Ascot over the same distance. With Tom Marquand not available, William Buick has been booked to take his place. 'We didn't confirm him for the Temple and entered him for the Sandy Lane,' said Appleby. 'At this stage, the Commonwealth Cup is the plan at Ascot, so it made sense to have another run over six. We may as well keep him against the three-year-olds.' Big Mojo won Ascot's Commonwealth Cup Trial on his seasonal reappearance over six furlongs. Others in the Sandy Lane include Richard Fahey's unbeaten Mill Reef winner Powerful Glory, Charlie Appleby's Symbol Of Honour, Charlie Johnston's Dash Dizzy and Adrian Murray's Arizona Blaze among 11 entries. The Temple has 14 confirmations as an early-closing race. They include Ralph Beckett's Breeders' Cup winner Starlust, Karl Burke's Night Raider, Ed Walker's Mgheera and Jim Goldie's rapidly improving American Affair. There are 19 in the Betfred 'Nifty 50' British EBF Hedge of Oak Stakes, with Running Lion looking to bounce back from a lacklustre showing at Newmarket last time out. Diamond Rain, Estrange and Ejaabiyah are among other possibles for the Listed race for fillies and mares.

Horse racing tips: ‘Anything close to his best will do' – Ryan Moore to steer Templegate's NAP to victory
TEMPLEGATE'S TIPS 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. Back a horse by clicking their odds below. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 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.
