TEMPLEGATE takes on Saturday’s action confident of finding a winner in the Midlands Grand National.
Read on for our man’s top tips and back a horse by clicking their odds below.
TIME TO GET UP (3.35 Uttoxeter, nap)
He got up on the line to win this 12 months ago but was value for further.
He jumped round the National course but found the trip way too short in the Grand Sefton on comeback before a solid third in a Haydock Grade 3.
He’s only 4lb higher than when winning this and can repeat the feat.
BREWERS PROJECT (1.30 Kempton, nb)
He was useful over hurdles and put up his best chase effort when third at Fontwell three weeks ago.
He has had a nudge down the weights and shapes as though this longer distance will help.
BOOTHILL (3.00 Uttoxeter, treble)
He has had a little help from the handicapper and this step up in trip should help.
He will find this easier than the Grade 3 Betfair Hurdle he last ran in at Newbury and trainer Harry Fry is in good form.
