Horse racing tips: Templegate tips 4-1 shot who looked better than ever scoring over course and distance last time

TEMPLEGATE turns his eye to Thursday’s action looking to keep up a run of winners.

Find out TODAY’S picks below as the countdown to Cheltenham really hots up.

EVITA DU MESNIL (1.00 Carlisle, nap)

She enjoyed herself when winning here last time. The winning margin was less than a length but it could have been more and top claimer Kevin Brogan stays in the saddle.

QAARAAT (3.35 Southwell, nb)

He was beaten on the nod here on Tuesday and rarely runs a bad race on the Fibresand. He should be right there again off the same mark.

GAMESTERS ICON (12.30 Carlisle, treble)

She has improved with every run and looked ready to win when second on her handicap debut at Uttoxeter 18 days ago. This longer distance should bring out her best.
