TEMPLEGATE has cast his eagle eye over the cards and picked his star-studded Tote Fantasy team for this weekend.
The action comes thick and fast from Wincanton and Aintree – and there is a FREE £1 entry to claim here.
TOTE FANTASY: CLAIM YOUR FREE STABLE ENTRY
Simply pick your seven horses with your 10,000 guinea budget – just like you would in fantasy football.
Make sure you select your boosts – it’s two times the points for the stable star and you can get a placing bump under the ‘stewards enquiry’.
The top 25 per cent of players make profit and the winner scoops the jackpot.
Fantasy is a paid pool much like a Placepot or a Scoop6, however the way you win is entirely unique and based on how you do vs the other players.
You don’t need to pick all seven winners, you just need to do better than others in the pool – first prize could be won with just two winners.
Templegate’s Tote Fantasy team
1.15 Wincanton
FLAGRANT DELITIEP: 750
He showed positive signs when fourth at Plumpton on comeback and has landed two of his three wins here. He jumps well and has tumbled right down the weights. He should be spot-on for a good run.
1.50 Wincanton
CAPTAIN CONBY: 1750
He was a useful handicap hurdler and won on chase debut at Killarney before a fair effort upped to Grade 3 level at Tipperary. He looks good for a place.
2.25 Wincanton
BLACKJACK MAGIC: 500
He signed off last season with a good win at Uttoxeter and looks a big price to make the frame.
2.45 Aintree
COOPER’S CROSS: 750
He was running a mighty race in the Topham over these unique fences in April until he was effectively brought down at the fourth-last. He jumped well before that and followed up with an excellent second in the Scottish Grand National. His staying power will be a big asset in these testing conditions.
3.00 Wincanton
HANSARD: 2500
He kicked off last season with a couple of minor wins before struggling behind the tip at Kempton. He left that form behind with a fourth in Grade 1 company at Aintree and likes this trip.
3.20 Aintree
BREWIN’UPASTORM: 2500
He won this race two years ago and was sent off the odds-on favourite 12 months ago before coming a cropper at the first flight. He’s another who has lots of stamina and likes it soft. He goes well fresh and we know he likes the track.
3.32 Wincanton
VICKI VALE: 1250
She ended last season with a decent novice win at Taunton and is another who looks on a fair weight even before her rider’s 5lb claim.
A responsible gambler is someone who:
