TEMPLEGATE tackles a busy Tuesday of racing confident of smashing in some winners.

STRESSFREE (2.45 Epsom, nap)
He has been winning over hurdles this winter and trainer David O’Meara was happy with his Flat comeback at Doncaster last month. He ran a cracker to finish fourth in a big field and may have won with a clearer run. This five-year-old comes back from the same handicap mark of 93 and, while he’s done plenty of winning in soft ground, he also handles the decent conditions he should face on the Downs today. Danny Tudhope’s mount has good form on quirky tracks like Musselburgh and Chester so should enjoy himself around Epsom’s rollercoaster.
DEVIL’S ADVOCATE (2.10 Epsom, nb)
John Gosden has a solid record in this race with no fewer than seven wins since the turn of the century. He can add to that impressive record with this son of Too Darn Hot who showed loads of pace when scooting in at Chelmsford last time out in October. That built nicely on his debut third at Newmarket when a mile was clearly on the short side. He is bred to enjoy this better ground and can take another big step forward. Hold your Derby bets though as the last winner of this to follow up in the Classic was just before the Second World War!
EMERALD ARMY (8.00 Thirsk, treble)
There was lots to like about his comeback win over course and distance earlier this month. He came from a long way back to get up right on the line with a bit left in the tank. A 3lb rise in the weights won’t put the brakes on in this modest contest.
