Templegate’s racing tips: Exeter, Hexham, Chelmsford and Southwell – Templegate’s betting preview for racing on Thursday, December 20
Exeter, Hexham, Chelmsford and Southwell come under the spotlight as Templegate gives you his best bets for the day
SERVE the bookies a Writ in Exeter's 1.40.
THE KINGS WRIT (nap) was all set to bolt up at Chepstow before walking through the last and falling.
He had tons in hand that day and although he has been raised 6lb for the incident, he can make amends here and should stay well ahead of the handicapper.
NEARLY PERFECT (3.10 Exeter, nb) won't put a foot wrong for us. Neil King's four-year-old ran a cracker on his hurdles debut when chasing home a smart sort.
Brilliant Bryony Frost gets the leg up today and he will be in the mix with natural improvement from his last run.
Get the treble up with SAN CARLOS (6.30 Chelmsford, treble).
BEL OF THE BALL Classy Charbel to bypass Christmas with Listed Kempton contest the target
Sent off an unfancied 66-1 shot on debut, he blew the start before making eyecatching headway at Kempton.
The extra furlong today will suit and he will have learnt plenty from that first outing.
