RAID THE BAR

Horse racing tips: Exeter, Towcester, Southwell and Chelmsford – Templegate’s betting preview for Thursday, December 21

Exeter, Towcester, Southwell and Chelmsford come under the spotlight as Templegate gives you his best bets for the day

Exeter racecourse

GET to the Bottom of Towcester’s 12.25.

THE BOTTOM BAR (nap) went close on his second bumper start when trained by Paul Webber.

He was snapped up by top owners Simon Munir and Isaac Souede and has his first race for champion trainer Nicky Henderson.

Today’s stiff track should suit him.

NORMANDY KING (12.55 Towcester, nb) made a promising return to action before chasing home Knocknamona at Uttoxeter.

The winner has subsequently won two more races so the form looks good.

SPINNING MELODY (11.45 Southwell, treble) did well to win at Chelmsford on his debut.

The track might not have suited her at Wolverhampton last time and she is bred to like today’s surface.
