Saturday racing tips: NAPS for today’s racing as Matt Chapman and Templegate go head-to-head

IT'S that time of the week where our expert tipsters give us their best bets ahead of another busy Saturday.

The NAPs come from Redcar and Newmarket, and there's an update following the first week of competition.

It was a tough start for Chappers and Templegate with the Cambridgeshire no easy puzzle to solve.

Matt's selection Pretty Pollyanna ran no race in the Cheveley Park while Templegate opted for the wrong John Gosden horse as Wissahickon ran out the winner in the big handicap.

Onto week two and the pair are hoping to bounce back at Newmarket and Redcar.

Matt Chapman

In terms of class, the big race of Saturday is the Sun Chariot at Newmarket, and once again I think people and the bookmakers are underestimating the power of the Karl Burke-trained LAURENS (3.15).

It might be the Ballydoyle team try and give her a hard time up front, but she doesn't have to lead and when push comes to shove she'll take a bit of stopping.

She handled Newmarket no problem at all in the Guineas and is arguably a better filly now.

I believe she should be shorter in the betting than she is and she's well worth having a few quid on.

Yeeehaaa!

Templegate

My NAP loves it at Redcar and still looks like he's progressing for Les Eyre.

DAWAALEEB (4.35) is only three pounds higher than his win here three starts back and can strike again under the same jockey James Sullivan.

The form of his Newmarket fourth looks solid, with the second Via Via going well in the Cambridgeshire last weekend.
