Newcastle, Lingfield and Wolverhampton come under the spotlight as Templegate gives you his best bets for the day
PRAISE the Laird in Wolverhampton’s 1.30.
CALEDONIA LAIRD (nap) has notched up his last three wins over today’s course and distance off higher handicap ratings.
He went close on his last visit here and young jockey Georgia Dobie has won on both rides she’s had for trainer Jo Hughes.
CLAIRE UNDERWOOD (4.15 Newcastle, nb) won at Wolverhampton over Christmas before running a sound race at Chelmsford.
There’s plenty of stamina in her pedigree and she races like she will improve for the step up to 1m4f.
PLAYFULL SPIRIT (5.45 Newcastle, treble) has run his two best races at this track.
AINTREE ROCKS Alex Ferguson, Jeremy Kyle and Ronnie Wood set to have Grand National runners
She’s obviously a long way down the pecking order at John Gosden’s stables but this is not a strong race.
If the cheekpieces she wears for the first time hep sharpen her up she should be up to winning it.
