Accessing Templegate’s tips first and at the best prices requires joining the Sun Racing Members Enclosure, a subscription service offering exclusive benefits. For an initial fee of £1 for the first month, and then £3 per month thereafter, members receive four free racing tickets annually, valued at £300, along with early access to Templegate’s daily tips at optimal odds, exclusive access to his daily NAP (best bet), the next day’s edition of The Favourite newspaper at 9pm, insights from trainer Ben Pauling, and VIP competitions from Racing Breaks.
At Cheltenham, Templegate’s top pick (NAP) is Golden Ace in the 3.15 race. Having recently finished close in a Grade 2 race at Ascot, Golden Ace demonstrated her affinity for the Cheltenham track by winning the Dawn Run last season. The weight advantage she enjoys over her male competitors further bolsters her prospects. Springwell Bay is highlighted as the next best (NB) selection at Cheltenham, competing in the 2.05 race. This horse has shown consistent improvement in his three chase runs, performing well against a strong winner at Cheltenham last time out. His optimal distance and consistently good performances at Cheltenham make him a compelling contender. Completing Templegate’s treble selection is Anamanda in the 2.55 race at Musselburgh. Anamanda recorded a personal best at Musselburgh in her last outing, suggesting that the increased distance suits her well. Racing from the same mark, she’s predicted to perform well.
Templegate provides detailed analyses for several other races at Cheltenham. In the 12.20 race, Kalif Du Berlais is favored, having previously defeated Tedley at Newbury and showing potential for further improvement. Vincenzo, another contender, recently surpassed Tedley at Windsor, suggesting further progress given his novice status over fences. Diva Luna, tipped for the 12.55 race, is expected to improve upon a disappointing hurdles debut at Lingfield, especially with the increased distance and weight allowance. In the 1.30 race, Broadway Boy is poised for a first seasonal victory, based on his strong performances at Cheltenham and a lenient weight increase following a second-place finish at Newbury. Our Power, coming off a second place at Cheltenham, poses the main threat.
Further analysis of the Cheltenham races continues with the 2.05, where Springwell Bay is discussed in further detail emphasizing his consistent improvements, ideal distance, and promising track record at Cheltenham. Gemirande, another strong contender with recent wins at Ascot and Cheltenham, will need to overcome a higher weight. Deep Cave is the tip for the 2.40 race based on promising signs in his recent fifth-place finish at Cheltenham and his preference for decent ground. One Big Bang requires softer ground, similar to conditions in his second-place finish at Haydock, to maximize his stamina. Finally, in the 3.50 race, Gnomon, trained by leading flat trainer Ralph Beckett, makes an appealing debut after an impressive win at Exeter. Lady Tadita, having dominated her debut at Huntingdon, faces a different track but could still deliver a strong performance.
At Musselburgh, Benson is favored to win the 1.45 race for the third consecutive year. His prior success at this track and the drop in class following a challenging race against Sir Gino in the Fighting Fifth enhance his prospects. Bold Light, also returning after a modest performance at Haydock, has the potential for another strong run given his previous win at Kelso. Beau Balko, tipped for the 2.20 race, consistently performs well and achieved a victory at Musselburgh last season. Boomslang, with two wins from three starts over fences, demonstrates improving form, while Corrigeen Rock aims to improve upon his comeback performance after nearly winning this race last year.
