Horse racing tips: Sandown, Lingfield, Fakenham and Newcastle – Templegate’s betting preview for the racing this Friday, February 16
Sandown, Lingfield, Fakenham and Newcastle come under the spotlight as Templegate gives you his best bets for the day
GET Back in Sandown’s 4.05.
STEP BACK (nap) was a multiple point-to-point winner. He was successful on his hurdles debut last season before being flung into the deep end at the Cheltenham Festival.
I was impressed by his jumping at Chepstow on his first try at fences and going right-handed will help him.
CHINGACHGOOK (7,15 Newcastle, nb) has run well in good all-weather maidens over seven furlongs. The move up in distance to a mile is just what he wants.
OH MICHELLE (2.25 Sandown, treble) had some really smart bumper form.
There was a lot to like about her hurdles debut at Huntingdon last month and she should be spot of for that effort.
