Horse racing tips: Warwick Nap can end 2020 with a bang and take advantage of a good opportunity

TEMPLEGATE casts his eagle eye over Thursday’s racecards looking to end 2020 with a bang.

Read on to find out who our red-hot tipster thinks will land the spoils and end this dreadful year on a high.

CLONDAW STORM (1.20 Warwick, nap).

He ploughed through the mud at Lingfield last time to finish a close second against rivals no better than these.

The handicapper has left him alone and he has more to offer on his fourth run for Nigel Twiston-Davies.

FOX DUTY FREE (2.00 Lingfield, nb)

He has been a revelation since joining Ralph Beckett with back-to-back wins here. He should no issue stepping up to a mile today.

MR WASHINGTON (2.25 Warwick, treble)

He just improves with every run and had plenty in hand when landing his hat-trick at Ludlow. This sort of trip and testing ground is right up his street.
