TEMPLEGATE struck on day one of the York Dante meeting and looks to find some more winners on day two.
Read on for our man's top tips, find his comprehensive guide to the racing on ITV4 lower down and back a horse by clicking their odds.
EL BODEGON (3.35 York, nap)
He already has a Group 1 win to his name and it was no fluke over this trip in Saint-Cloud. He’d already landed a nice pot at Chantilly after breaking his duck at Sandown. There could be a lot more to come.
RAASEL (1.50 York, nb)
He was impressive when scoring in hot company at Goodwood last time. He showed lots of pace and James Doyle stays on board. He has more to come.
MADAME AMBASSADOR (2.05 Salisbury, treble)
She was a decent fourth at Doncaster last time and is off the same mark. She will come on for that after seven months off and this trip suits.
