Horse racing tips: Ascot, Fontwell, Hexham and Chelmsford – Templegate’s top betting preview for Friday, October 6
Ascot, Fontwell, Hexham and Chelmsford come under the spotlight as Templegate gives you his best bets for the day
IT should be a good Weekend in Ascot’s 3.45.
WEEKENDER (nap) showed a good attitude to win over 1m2f at Newmarket in June.
His close second to progressive Daphne over 1m4f last time was a cracking comeback from three months off the track. Today’s extra two furlongs is what he’s been waiting for.
BUCKTHORN TIMOTHY (5.05 Fontwell, nb) developed into a useful chaser last season. He’s nicely treated over hurdles and he won at this track when last seen over the smaller obstacles.
ADRIEN DU PONT (2.45 Fontwell, treble) had some smart hurdles form before losing his way last season. He’s the type to bounce back switched to fences.
