TEMPLEGATE switches his attention to the all weather this weekend with jumps racing lost to the big freeze.
Read on to find out who he thinks can land the NAP this afternoon.
SECRET HANDSHEIKH (2.00 Lingfield, nap)
He has been in blistering form at Southwell with two easy wins from his past two runs.
Form at that track often doesn’t translate because of the slow going but Archie Watson’s flyer won on lightning ground at Bath last summer so should handle this quicker surface.

If he does he’ll be very hard to stop.
STOPNSEARCH (3.10 Lingfield, nap)
He was a little unlucky to be beaten a short-head here last time.
He was pushed wide coming into the straight and lost plenty of ground before finishing like a train.
Hopefully he can stay closer to the inside today and gain compensation.
INEVITABLE OUTCOME (3.45 Lingfield, treble)
He ended 2020 with a win at Wolver and has gone close twice since, including here last time out.
He drops back a furlong, which looks a wise move after he may not have quite got home.
He looks the one to beat.
LINGFIELD
11.45 Galahad Threepwood
Good winner here last time and can follow up.
12.20 Ahdab
Came up against a good one when second here last time out.
12.50 Give Em The Slip
Two solid seconds so far with the scope to improve.
1.25 Mummy Bear
Unlucky when going wide here last time, should get off the mark.
2.00 SECRET HANDSHEIKH (NAP)
Can translate good Southwell form to this track.
2.35 Accomplice
Landed sixth win over C&D last time, can handle this stronger grade.
3.10 Stopnsearch (nb)
Just beaten here last time when not getting the best of runs.
3.45 Inevitable Outcome (treble)
Knocking on the door and drop to sprinting should suit.
WOLVERHAMPTON
4.44 Broken Rifle
Won well last time and every chance under a penalty.
5.15 Soyounique
Hit the post at Lingfield latest and longer trip should be ideal.
5.45 Jackstar
Best form would bring him right into this open contest.
6.15 Tataboq
Won one of these sellers last time and can follow up.
6.45 Shenu
Showed lots of promise when third on debut at Newcastle and upped in trip.
7.15 Tone The Barone
In flying form and big chance if taking to this surface.
7.45 Cityzen Serg
Didn’t like Newcastle last time and much happier back here.
8.15 Greengage
Had plenty in hand when winning at Newcastle latest.
