TEMPLEGATE has gone on his travels and hopped over the sea to the Curragh, where he takes on the blockbuster Irish Derby meeting.
It's a quick turnaround from Royal Ascot – which could be good or bad for some fancied runners.
Our top tipster will bring you his three main selections for all three days on Sun Racing.
Read on for his picks for Friday (day one) and don't forget you can back a horse by clicking their odds.
TEMPLE OF ARTEMIS (6.43 Curragh)
Ryan Moore keeps faith with Wordsworth who was well backed before disappointing in the Queen Alexandra Stakes at Royal Ascot last week.
He’s back from that marathon in just six days so can’t be guaranteed to run up to form.

Fellow Aidan O’Brien hope TEMPLE OF ARTEMIS showed lots of promise when winning a decent handicap at Chester’s May meeting over 1m4f.
He shapes as though moving up to this trip will help and he has a lot more to come.
AUCKLAND (7.18 Curragh)
He was in good form over hurdles and came back to the Flat with a solid third in a big field at Leopardstown earlier this month.
This apprentice derby looks wide open and he looks capable of going close again.
KAZAKDARIA (8.28 Curragh)
She was a maiden winner at Leopardstown last season and has run well in both handicaps so far.
She ended last campaign with a close-up fourth in good company and returned with a decent third, both here.
Stepping up to two miles looks a wise move and she has a lot more to offer.
