TEMPLEGATE’S tips for Friday’s racing are below – as he looks to build the bank for York next week.
Back a horse by clicking their odds below.
SUNNY SMILE (3.05 Newbury, nap)
She was much improved when winning at Hamilton last time with Oisin Murphy in the saddle for the first time. The former champ stays on board today for this handicap debut off a fair mark of 81 and there’s a lot more to come.
FLOWERHEAD (4.45 Newbury, nb)
Can blossom in the St Hugh’s Stakes at the Berkshire track. She has run two mighty races at Ascot this season. Charlie Clover’s filly was beaten just over a length when second in the Queen Mary at the Royal meeting and was back for a close-up fifth in the Princess Margaret Stakes last time. Dropping back to 5f in this lesser grade can see her head in front again.
CALENDAR GIRL (2.40 Epsom, treble)
There was a lot to like about the way she scooted home to win on debut at Newbury 22 days ago. Owen Burrows isn’t particularly known for first-time-out winners so there should be more to come.
CANCAN IN THE RAIN (6.25 Newmarket, Lucky 15)
He got the job done well at Southwell last time and has decent form on fast-ground turf too so should be right at home.
