Templegate’s horse racing tips: Ascot, Thirsk, York, Newmarket, Chepstow and Uttoxeter – Templegate’s betting preview for Friday, 27 July

MAKE a date with AMERICAN GIGOLO (nap) in Ascot’s 3.00.

He was a useful hurdler and switched to the Flat in style when landing an all-weather hat-trick in the spring.

Things did not go his way in two subsequent turf efforts but his jumps form shows he has no problem away from sand.

What's more, all-weather horses often do well at Ascot.

MASHAM STAR (7.10 Newmarket, nb) has run well in some tough races since winning at Windsor in June.

This could fall nicely for him.

ON PAROLE John Gosden's Without Parole heads confirmed field of thirteen for Sussex Stakes

DESERT DIAMOND (7.30 York, treble) was fourth in the Sandringham Handicap at Royal Ascot before going close in a Sandown Listed contest.

He had to wait for a run there and looks likely to be suited by the step up to 1m2f.
