Today’s horse racing tips: Templegate’s NAP and best bets for Ayr, Bangor, Sedgefield and Wolverhampton

HAVE a meaty bet on THE BUTCHER SAID (1.10 Bangor, nap).

He was a useful hurdler last season and has taken well to chasing with a Southwell win and a close second at Uttoxeter. Going back up to three miles looks a wise move.

FINISK RIVER (2.50 Bangor, nb) has won his past two starts by a distance and has a lot more to offer for local hero Donald McCain.

LAUDED (4.40 Wolverhampton, treble) has been running in Group races and looks hard to beat on this big drop in class.
