Horse racing tips: ‘Rossa Ryan is a good booking and she's handicapped to win' – Templegate's NAP worth the wait
TEMPLEGATE takes on Monday's action looking for winners. Back a horse by clicking their odds below. LIVE EACH DAY (9.00 Windsor, nap) She's done well since joining Stuart Williams and followed a Southwell success with a neck second here last time. That was over a mile and she finished strongly to suggest this longer trip will be ideal. Rossa Ryan is a good booking and she's handicapped to win a couple at this level. EDUCATOR (6.20 Pontefract, nb) It was great to see Henrietta Knight back in the winners' enclosure with this six-year-old who had to pick his way through the field to land a cosy success. He relishes this trip on the level and is more than capable of following up. SIR ROCK (2.40 Southwell, treble) He got his act together nicely when winning cosily at Fontwell last month. He kept it simple from the front there and could get another uncontested lead today. That would give him a massive chance. IREZUMI (3.30 Brighton, Lucky 15) He was just a length off the pace when third here last time and takes a drop in standard here. He should be fine with this trip too.
