Horse racing tips TODAY: Britain’s BEST Nap tipster Templegate reveals top bet for day three at York

FRIDAY brings us day three of the huge Dante Festival at York and Templegate remains in roaring form.

Our man is top among all British tipsters for his NAPs, so you know you have come to the right place.

FORTAMOUR (3.40 York, nap)

He went close in a better race than this over course and distance last season. He’s had a couple of solid runs this term over shorter but this trip and the lesser opposition gives him a solid chance.

SIR RON PRIESTLEY (3.10 York, nb)

He took the Group 2 Jockey Club Stakes from the front earlier this month and can run them ragged again. Franny Norton is excellent on pace-pushers and this extra quarter-mile will bring this St Leger second’s stamina into play.

CREATIVE FLAIR (2.10 York, treble)

She came back from eight months off to saunter home at Ascot 16 days ago. She takes on stiffer opposition here but clocked a decent time and can handle it.
