Horse racing tips: ‘He goes on any ground and Richard Kingscote is a good booking' – Templegate's Sunday NAP
TEMPLEGATE takes on Sunday's racing confident of hitting form just in time for Royal Ascot. Back a horse by clicking their odds below. CRIMSON SPIRIT (5.00 Salisbury, nap) This four-year-old ran a cracker when third in a big field at York last time out. That was an excellent effort after nine months off and confirmed his liking for this trip. He goes on any ground and Richard Kingscote is a good booking for the in-form Kubler training team. NOVAMAY (5.37 Doncaster, nb) Can end a frustrating run of seconds with his first win. He has done little wrong so far and was right there again at Catterick last time. The first-time cheekpieces can help him to get home. ZAPPHIRE (5.45 Hamilton, treble) Finished strongly to score over a mile at Carlisle last time. That's a stamina-sapping track so this extra two furlongs should be ideal. SUNNY CORNER (3.23 Salisbury, Lucky 15) He was a good third on the all-weather at Kempton last time but is at home on turf too. He's slipped to just above the mark of his Newbury win last summer.

Horse racing tips: ‘She's bred to be speedy and is drawn well' – Templegate's NAP a winner-in-waiting
TEMPLEGATE tackles Wednesday's action confident of building the bank for Royal Ascot. Back a horse by clicking their odds below. WATEEN (4.00 Lingfield, nap) This sharp filly improved markedly to finish second at Doncaster last time, posting a strong speed figure in the process. She's bred to be speedy, is drawn well, and has more to offer in a race where most of her rivals lack experience. MAKES ME WONDER (2.45 Yarmouth, nb) She showed her liking for this track when scoring here over seven furlongs in April. The form of that contest has worked out very nicely and anything like that performance would be good enough. BANKSMAN (5.15 Yarmouth, treble) He has his sights lowered slightly here after going down in a photo at Brighton last time out. He is drawn to attack and this looks a cracking chance to get off the mark for in-form trainer Jack Channon. SAWGRASS (3.30 Lingfield, Lucky 15) Has been knocking on the door and looked in need of this longer trip when third at Beverley last time. She can score off this mark.

King Charles teams up with Willie Mullins for Leopardstown runner
King Charles and the Queen are teaming up with the king of horse racing as Willie Mullins will saddle his first runner for His Majesty this week. Reaching High has been moved to Mullins' County Carlow stables and runs in a lady riders handicap at Leopardstown on Friday. The four-year-old son of Queen Elizabeth II's Gold Cup winner Estimate will be ridden by Jody Townend, sister of Mullins's stable jockey Paul, who rode her first Cheltenham Festival winner in March. Mullins, the two-time British and 18-times Irish champion trainer, was invited to Windsor Castle for lunch and joined the Royal Procession at Royal Ascot last year. While the royal racing manager, John Warren, described it 'a bit of fun' the serious purpose behind Friday evening's race is find out if the gelding has the potential to go to Royal Ascot, scene of his dam's greatest victory, in June for a long distance handicap before embarking on a jumping career. Reaching High did not break any records in any of his eight runs for Sir Michael Stoute who retired at the end of last year winning once, at Wolverhampton, from eight starts. 'I think the King and Queen are looking forward to having a horse run in Ireland for the first time and this horse might just be a nice prospect that could develop into a National Hunt horse,' Warren told the Nick Luck Daily Podcast. 'He's out of Estimate, a Gold Cup winner, so stamina might be his game. He was trained very well by Sir Michael Stoute last year and when Sir Michael packed up we thought it would be worthwhile looking at who could do a dual-purpose job for him and the Queen. 'The Queen met William on a number of occasions at Cheltenham and thought he was charming and wonderful and keeps having more and more winners the whole time, so the King and Queen were keen to send him to be trained in Ireland.' Meanwhile, Mullins's flat counterpart, Aidan O'Brien, took the latest step to total annexation of all the major Derby/Oaks trials since the Guineas when Whirl, a filly not even entered for Epsom, took apart the Tattersalls Musidora Stakes by five and a half lengths at York. Part-owner Michael Tabor said he thought she was a mile-and-a-quarter filly, and that the Prix de Diane might be more her cup of tea than the Oaks over an extra quarter of a mile. Ryan Moore, however, was very complimentary and hinted she could yet be in the mix for Epsom for which Coolmore would have to pay a £30,000 supplementary entry. 'She was very comfortable stepping up to that trip and was impressive,' he said. 'She is very straight forward and wasn't doing a whole lot in front. She's very professional. By Wootton Bassett she could probably do most things,' Moore said. On Thursday, O'Brien can complete a unique trials set by winning the Al Basti Equiworld Dubai Dante Stakes with The Lion In Winter, the over-winter Derby favourite and the colt touted as Ballydoyle's best Derby hope. Tabor said he would not be backing him on Thursday because he has been a bit behind in his work although he is going well at home now. That, he added, would not stop him backing him in the Derby nearer the time.
