Saturday racing tips: NAPS for today’s racing as Matt Chapman and Templegate go head-to-head at Newbury and Doncaster

Chappers and Templegate face off in their NAP battle ahead of the Saturday's action

THE TOP-CLASS action continues apace this weekend.

Chappers and Templegate both drew blanks on Boxing Day but are looking to bounce back at Newbury.

It was a punters nightmare at Kempton as Santini could only finish third for Chappers in the Kauto Star.

Those in the Templegate camp also were out of luck at Politologue could only manage fourth in the King George.

With the new year in sight, it's all to play for with Chappers remaining in profit and Steve needing a winner to pull it back.

Game on.

Standings after Week 14 (to a £1 stake)

Matt Chapman +5.03

Templegate -4



Matt Chapman

A busy day on ITV and I'm going to NAP Dragon D'Estruval in the handicap hurdle at Newbury at 1.50pm.

He's down in trip having travelled well to a point over 3m last time. He has every chance for the in-form Nicky Henderson.

Yeeehaaa!

  • 1.50 Newbury - Dragon D'Estruval NAP

Templegate

Away from the ITV cameras, I've got a red-hot fancy on the sand at Southwell.

ANNA JAMMEELA (3.30 Southwell) was a ready winner over course and distance two starts ago.

She ran with plenty of promise over further at the same track last time but didn't quite get home.

She is back over her best trip now and takes a drop in class.

  • 1.30 Doncaster - Battle Of Shiloh
  • 1.50 Newbury - Unblinking
  • 2.05 Doncaster - Drinks Interval
