TEMPLEGATE tackles Sunday’s racing confident of finding winners.
Read on for our man’s tips and back a horse by clicking their odds below.
CAPTAIN HADDOCK (6.15 Hamilton, nap)
Went close at Doncaster last time and was second this year from a 9lb higher mark.
Thrown in excellent claiming jockey Billy Loughnane and it should be a winning combination.
MOONSTONE BOY (3.45 Hamilton, nb)
Went close at Musselburgh last time when getting no luck in running and he can make the most of his experience to score.
MERESIDE DIVA (4.15 Hamilton, treble)
Beaten just a neck on her handicap debut at Doncaster 15 days ago.
That improved on her Musselburgh maiden win and there’s more to come.

Templegate’s TV tips
HAMILTON
3.45
MOONSTONE BOY went close at Musselburgh last time when getting no luck in running and he can make the most of his experience to score.
Kandy House showed promise when third at Ripon and looks the main threat.
4.15
MERESIDE DIVA was beaten just a neck on her handicap debut at Doncaster 15 days ago.
That improved on her Musselburgh maiden win and there’s more to come.
Mountain Warrior returned from a break with a good win at Southwell and will be a threat if repeating that form on turf.
4.45
BALALAIKA finished last season with a solid Listed run and returned with a close-up third at Southwell.
She needed that and can step forward from what looks a fair handicap mark.
Nigwa was hampered several times when fifth at Newcastle. She showed promise last season and has more to come.
Zarabanda is another with more to offer now handicapping.
5.15
PISANELLO finished like a train when second on comeback at Thirsk eight days ago.
He will be fitter for that and can go close again over his favourite trip.
Shaladar ran well in the mud at Redcar and has run well here before.
On A Session is up 6lb for winning at Musselburgh 14 days ago but will be competitive.
5.45
HUDDLE UP showed good pace when a solid second at Thirsk last time.
He is back from the same mark and this drop in trip is no problem.
Jordan Electrics landed an overdue win at Ayr latest and should be competitive again, while Spoof is consistent and battled strongly to score at Ascot last time – he will be right in the mix again.
6.15
CAPTAIN HADDOCK (nap) went close at Doncaster last time and was second this year from a 9lb higher mark.
Thrown in excellent claiming jockey Billy Loughnane and it should be a winning combination.
Ravenscraig Castle ran a decent race at Musselburgh and sees out this trip strongly.
Mister Camacho won by seven lengths at Carlisle and will be thereabouts again.
6.45
KNIGHT OF HONOUR was a good third after a break at Thirsk last time.
The final furlong just stretched him a bit and coming back in trip here can do the trick.
Faylaq had trouble in running when making a late challenge here last time.
He was unlucky to be only second so is a threat along with handicap debutant Thunder Roar.
