Racing tips: Templegate NAPS Olly Murphy to strike with promising chaser at Taunton on Thursday
TEMPLEGATE goes in search of more winners on Thursday.
Read on for our top tipster’s top tips.
NICKOLSON (3.10 Taunton, nap)
He came back from a break to go close at Warwick on his chase debut when beaten less than two lengths. There should be more to come from in-form Olly Murphy’s hopeful.
CONTEMPLATEMYFAITH (2.50 Newcastle, nb)
He can land another winner for the Murphy yard. He was a good third on his first crack over hurdles at Lingfield and has a lot more to offer.
PICANHA (12.50 Warwick, treble)
He won an Exeter bumper before running well over hurdles there after two years off last time. He can build on that promising start.
