Royal Ascot DAY THREE tips: Britain’s top tipster Templegate reveals huge 17-2 NAP on Gold Cup day

TEMPLEGATE is already enjoying a profitable Royal Ascot - and it could get even better on Ladies Day.

Read on below to find out Britain's top tipster's selections for Wednesday.

SUREFIRE (5.35 Ascot, nap)

He powered home to score over 1m2f at Leicester last time and will relish this extra quarter-mile.

That was just his fourth run so there should be improvement to come and Ralph Beckett has his horses in good form.

MOHAAFETH (3.05 Ascot, nb)

He has been impressive on his past two starts and can take this stronger class in his stride. He kicked off with a handicap win at HQ before more than matching that form at Listed level.

NOON STAR (3.40 Ascot, treble)

She can rise to the occasion for Sir Michael Stoute and Ryan Moore. She has been brought along in her own time and her effort behind future Oaks winner Snowfall at York now looks a bit better. She looks all over a stayer so moving up in trip here should bring improvement on just her fifth outing.
