Templegate’s horse racing tips: Cheltenham, Doncaster, Newbury and Kempton – Templegate’s betting preview for racing on Friday, October 26
Cheltenham, Doncaster, Newbury and Kempton come under the spotlight as Templegate gives you his best bets for the day
I’M going to IMPROVE (nap) for Newbury’s 2.50.
A late surge saw William Haggas’ filly home in a Haydock novice race in May.
She was turned over at odds-on when runner-up on her first run since at Newcastle three weeks ago.
That still wasn’t a bad run and she is sure to come into own now she steps up to 1m2f.
SEBASTOPOL (4.20 Cheltenham, nb) is a cracking prospect.
He looked good when winning what is traditionally a strong Ayr bumper on Scottish National day. Tom Lacey’s hope has a bright future over hurdles.
Templegate's treble
NAP 2.50 Newbury - Improve: 'Promising filly should relish this step up to 1m2f'
NEXT BEST 4.20 Cheltenham - Sebastopol: 'Cracking prospect for hurdles having won a hot bumper'
TREBLE 2.35 Cheltenham - Diakali: 'Has taken well to fences at this Grade 1 winner has plenty of class'
DIAKALI (2.35 Cheltenham, treble) took well to fences when winning twice in June.
He was a dual Grade 1 winner over hurdles when trained by Willie Mullins so has more than a touch of class.
