Horse racing tips: Templegate NAP can dominate under rising star Billy Loughnane

TEMPLEGATE tackles Sunday’s race confident of finding winners.
Read on for our men’s tips and bet on a horse by clicking on their odds below.
CAPTAIN HADDOCK (6.15 Hamilton, nap)
He was close last time at Doncaster and finished second this year with a mark up by 9 pounds.
Add in the excellent jockey Billy Loughnane and it should be a winning combination.
MOONSTONE BOY (3.45 Hamilton, nb)
He was close last time in Musselburgh as he wasn’t lucky on the run and he can use his experience to the full to score.
MERESIDE DIVA (4.15 Hamilton, Triple)
She was narrowly beaten in her handicap debut at Doncaster 15 days ago.
That’s improved on her first win in Musselburgh and there’s more to come.

Templegate’s TV Tips
HAMILTON
3.45
MOONSTONE BOY was close last time in Musselburgh as he was unlucky on the run and he can make the most of his experience to score.
Kandy House showed promise third in Ripon and appears to be the biggest threat.
4.15
MERESIDE DIVA was narrowly beaten in her handicap debut at Doncaster 15 days ago.
That’s improved on her first win in Musselburgh and there’s more to come.
Mountain Warrior returned with a good win in Southwell after a break and will pose a threat if he repeats that form on grass.
4.45
BALALAIKA finished last season with a solid list run, returning with a close third place finish at Southwell.
She needed that and can improve past what appears to be a fair handicap mark.
Finishing fifth at Newcastle, Nigwa was handicapped several times. She showed promise last season and more is to come.
Zarabanda is another hotel that now has more to offer.
5.15
PISANELLO finished like a move when he finished second in the comeback in Thirsk eight days ago.
In return, he will be fitter and be close again on his favorite ride.
Shaladar ran well in the mud at Redcar and has done well there before.
On A Session is up 6lbs after winning Musselburgh 14 days ago but will be competitive.
5.45
HUDDLE UP showed good pace as it took a solid second place last time out in Thirsk.
He’s back from the same brand and that drop-in trip isn’t a problem.
Jordan Electrics clinched a late win at Ayr and should be competitive again, while Spoof has been consistent at Ascot last time out and fought hard for a goal – he’ll be back in the game.
6.15
CAPTAIN HADDOCK (napping) was close last time at Doncaster and finished second this year with a mark up by 9 pounds.
Add in the excellent jockey Billy Loughnane and it should be a winning combination.
Ravenscraig Castle put in a decent race at Musselburgh and is looking forward to the trip.
Mister Camacho won at Carlisle by seven lengths and will be close again.
6.45
KNIGHT OF HONOR was a good third after a break last time out in Thirsk.
The last round of 16 only took a bit of a toll on him and coming back here may help.
Faylaq struggled with running when he made a late tackle here last time.
He was unlucky to only finish second so is a threat along with handicap debutant Thunder Roar.
