Horse racing tips: Nottingham, Chepstow, Ayr, Huntingdon and Hexham – Templegate’s betting preview for the racing this Tuesday, May 22
Chepstow, Nottingham, Ayr, Huntingdon and Hexham come under the spotlight as Templegate gives you his best bets for the day
HIT the Front in Nottingham’s 4.35.
NORTHWEST FRONTIER (nap) ran some solid races last season and was far from disgraced when eighth in the Melrose at York.
He’s always looked likely to improve for the step up to today’s distance and his 1m4f third around Musselburgh’s sharp track last time just underlined that fact.
MASHAM STAR (4.10 Ayr, nb) can bounce back to winning ways.
Mark Johnston's four-year-old was not disgraced when drawn on the wrong side in the Victoria Cup at Ascot and he can make the most of this huge drop in grade.
AFFINA (4.00 Nottingham, treble) looks the type to improve now stepped up in trip.
Simon Crisford's filly has the potential to feature in pattern class races later in the season, so she has to go well at this level.
