He recommends joining the Sun Racing Members Enclosure for exclusive access to his tips at the best prices, along with additional benefits such as free racing tickets, insights from trainer Ben Pauling, and VIP competitions.
Cheltenham Highlights
At Cheltenham, Templegate’s nap selection is Skyjack Hijack in the 3.00 race. This horse boasts an impressive six-race winning streak and demonstrates a front-running style that makes him difficult to overcome. Though facing his toughest competition yet, Skyjack Hijack’s excellent times suggest he is ready for this higher level. Templegate’s next best bet (nb) is Madara in the 1.50 race, who caught the eye with a strong finish in the Paddy Power Gold Cup. With a more experienced jockey and a better understanding of his stamina, Madara is expected to be ridden closer to the pace and potentially turn the tables on the previous winner. Completing Templegate’s treble is Ambiente Amigo in the 12.10 race. After a disappointing third at Newbury, a jockey change to Harry Cobden and a third run over timber could lead to a more settled performance and a return to the winner’s circle.
Detailed Race-by-Race Analysis at Cheltenham
Templegate provides comprehensive analysis for each race at Cheltenham. In the 12.10, he highlights the potential of Ambiente Amigo while acknowledging the threat from Total Look, Quantock Hills, Teriferma, and Moutarde. For the 12.40, Transmission is favored following a course and distance victory, but Peaky Boy, Haiti Couleurs, Destroytheevidence, and Isaac Des Obeaux are also contenders. Coco Mademoiselle, with experience over hurdles and a near win on her chasing debut, is the pick for the 1.13, followed by Malaita, Theonewedreamof, Realisation, and Game On For Glory. The 1.50 race sees Madara as the top choice, with Grandeur D’Ame, Ga Law, Gemirande, and Stage Star also in the mix. Master Chewy, dropping in class after a fall in the Tingle Creek, is favored in the 2.25 race, with Libberty Hunter, Issar D’Airy, Triple Trade, and Etalon also mentioned. In the 3.00, Skyjack Hijack is the selection, with Jet Blue, Clondaw General, Western Knight, and Aboutdamntime as potential rivals.

Doncaster Selections
Templegate extends his coverage to Doncaster, selecting Forward Plan in the 2.05 race. This horse seeks to replicate last season’s success in the same race, with the ground conditions expected to suit. Gaboriot, Does He Know, Chasing Fire, and Straw Fan Jack are among his rivals. West Balboa is the choice in the 2.40 hurdle race, reverting back to hurdles after unsuccessful chase attempts. Gale Mahler, Ottizzini, and Wynenot are considered the primary dangers. In the 3.15 hurdle race, Norman Fletcher is the top pick, having shown consistent improvement this season. Deploy To Spy, Altobelli, Jungle Jack, and Lily Du Berlais are also in contention.
