TEMPLEGATE goes in search of winners on Thursday ahead of another big weekend of racing.
Read on for our man's top tips and back a horse by clicking their odds below.
MARLAY PARK (7.40 Epsom, nap)
He goes well at this tough track and was a good second here last time despite missing the kick. He’s back off the same mark with every chance.
WICKYWICKYWHEELS (3.20 Hamilton, nb)
She came from a mile back to strike on the line over course and distance on Saturday. She takes a big drop in class here and can score again under a penalty.
FRESH HOPE (3.40 Leicester, treble)
She put in a cracking effort when sixth at Royal Ascot on the back of a Doncaster success. She’s hard to beat in these calmer waters.

Templegate's race of the day
7.40 EPSOM
MARLAY PARK loves Epsom and can land another win at this tricky track.
He was a decent second here last time despite missing the break and looks on a fair mark.
Last year’s winner Otago is a threat along with Starshiba who came back to form last time.
TINTORETTO 2
TINTORETT-NO thanks. Finished stone last here at the Derby meeting but this is a much softer race than that. He’s back on his last winning mark but doesn’t score very often. Has a good 5lb claimer on board but needs his best form.
FLAME OF FREEDOM 3
BRIGHT Flame. Booking of William Buick stands out and she wasn’t beaten far when fourth at Leicester last time out. Has had a nudge down the weights and has scored over course and distance before which is a plus. Should run well.
MARLAY PARK 5
PARK life. Saves his best for this course and distance but did himself few favours when missing the kick here last time. He ran on well enough into second and is back from the same mark. Every chance if coming out of the stalls better.
STARSHIBA 3
SEARCH for Star. Ran his best race for a long time when beaten a neck at Ayr last time. He is back from the same handicap mark and has won in a higher grade. The worry is he’s scored just once in his career and is on a long losing run given his shortish price.
SECRET STRENGTH 2
STRENGTH weak. Has been second on the all-weather a couple of times this season but struggled badly here last time out. He didn’t seem to get home over the 7f trip and drop in distance would help his chances.
OTAGO 4
GO for it. Won this race 12 months ago off this handicap mark and wasn’t beaten far over course and distance last time. He gets on well with today’s rider and he’s right in the hunt.
