Templegate’s horse racing tips: Leicester, Lingfield and Catterick – top betting preview for the racing on Friday, December 28
Leicester, Lingfield and Catterick come under the spotlight as Templegate gives you his best bets for the day
BANK on an Astra motoring home in Leicester’s 1.50.
ASTRACAD (nap) has a tremendous record when fresh and he’s incredibly well weighted.
His third behind The Romford Pele on his comeback run last season would be good enough and he’s now 19lbs lower in the handicapper.
BALLASALLA (2.05 Catterick, nb) jumped nicely when runner-up on his chase debut at Carlisle. This looks a nice opportunity for him.
ATTENTION PLEASE (2.40 Catterick, treble) toughed it out to win at Musselburgh three weeks ago.
He was successful on his last visit to this track and the ground should be perfect.
