Horse racing tips: Templegate’s York NAP has been crying out for this distance on Friday

TEMPLEGATE takes on the final day of the York Dante meeting confident of landing a few winners.

Read on for his breakdown of all the ITV racing and back a horse by clicking their odds.

ROGUE BEAR (3.00 York, nap)

He is crying out for this longer distance after a host of good efforts over a mile. He was a tight third in a big field at Newbury last time behind a useful performer. The line came too soon as he finished well despite having to switch. He looks ahead of the handicapper.

WILD CRUSADE (4.10 York, nb)

He has landed two smooth wins on the all-weather and can make a winning switch to turf. He stayed this trip well at Kempton last time and looks well ahead of his mark.

GRANDE DAME (2.25 York, treble)

She caught the eye when scooting in at Ascot under Ryan Moore 16 days ago. It took only hands and heels to record a comfortable victory.

1.50 York

FIX YOU looked a hot prospect when winning easily on debut at Thirsk last month. She picked up well and the time was good.

Miami Girl was equally impressive when taking a Newmarket maiden first up.

She had it sewn up quickly and looks a big threat.

Beautiful Eyes was an easy scorer on the all-weather at Kempton and can hit the frame again.

2.05 Newmarket

ABLE KANE is working his way back to top form and hasn’t been beaten far in two Newmarket spins this season.

Dropping in trip can help and he’s had a little help from the handicapper.

Silver Samurai improved when third at Ascot last week and the booking of Buick takes the eye.

Ibiza Rocks went close at Ascot off this mark in October and needed his comeback run.

2.25 York

GRANDE DAME caught the eye when scooting in at Ascot under Ryan Moore 16 days ago. It took only hands and heels to record a comfortable victory.

Frankie takes over today and can conjure more improvement.

Fonteyn went close at Newmarket on comeback when seeing out this mile strongly. There’s plenty to build on there.

Perfect News wasn’t beaten far in a Group 3 on return and will be in the mix upped in distance.

3.00 York

ROGUE BEAR is crying out for this longer distance after a host of good efforts over a mile. He was a tight third in a big field at Newbury last time behind a useful performer.

The line came too soon as he finished well despite having to switch. He looks ahead of the handicapper.

Belloccio battled to score at Kempton and is a proven stayer. He should be on the premises again.

Miramichi landed four in a row last season and loves this trip. He still looks on a fair mark.

3.35 York

SEARCH FOR A SONG can lower the colours of Stradivarius. He has the benefit of a run this season with a good second at Navan where he tanked along for a long way. He’ll be fitter for that and has run well at the Knavesmire before.

It’s all about Royal Ascot for Stradivarius and this comeback should see him spot on for another Gold Cup bid.

Tashkhan regularly runs well over marathon trips and can bag third.

4.10 York

WILD CRUSADE has landed two smooth wins on the all-weather and can make a winning switch to turf.

He stayed this trip well at Kempton last time and looks well ahead of his mark.

Stablemate New Comedy rallied to win at Haydock on just his second start and is another with more to offer.

Al Qareem went close at Sandown and should enjoy this longer trip.
