Templegate Tips – Friday 8th April 2022
Templegate Horse Racing NAP
4.05 Aintree – KILLER CLOWN @ 14/1 with BetUK
Is running over the National fences for the first time, but jumps well and looks the sort to take well to them. This Emma Lavelle-trained 8 year-old has won two of his last three runs, including a nice success at Kempton last month. Up 8lb for that so another step forward needed, but still have a nice racing weight of 10-13. Jockey Tom Bellamy, who knows the horse well, gets the leg up.
Templegate Horse Racing NB
3.30 Aintree – FAKIR D’OUDAIRIES @ 11/8 with BetUK
This JP McManus-owned 7 year-old won this race well last year and it has been the target since. Missed the Cheltenham Festival so he could come here fresher and being the top-rated in the field too is the clear one to beat again this season.
