Horse racing tips: ‘He can win the race again' – Templegate's big NAP runs at Pontefract
TEMPLEGATE tackles Sunday's racing confident of bashing the bookies. Don't forget, you can back any of his selections by clicking on their odds below. POINT LYNAS (2.55 Pontefract, nap) Ed Bethell's star is coming here after running a cracker in the Group 2 Summer Mile at Ascot last time. He is best over this trip on decent ground and anything like his best form would suffice. LA QUARITE (5.07 Uttoxeter, nb) Had 36 lengths to spare when scooting in over fences at Newton Abbot last time. The Bowens now send him back to hurdling off the same mark and he'll be hard to beat over a trip that suits with the champion jockey up. Just denied at Beverley last time and a tiny rise in the weights gives Paul Midgley's flyer every chance of going one better here.

Horse racing tips: Sunday, July 27
Sunday's UK and Irish racing Flat Pontefract (1.55-4.55, Racing TV) Jumps Uttoxeter (1.37-5.07, Sky Sports Racing) Ron Wood's selections NAP Point Lynas (2.55, Pontefract) 1pt win @ SP with William Hill ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Other Elegant Erin (4.25, Pontefract) 1pt win @ SP with William Hill ⭐⭐ Odds provided by William Hill and correct at the time of writing. Stars denote strength of selection (max 5). If you already have a William Hill account and are looking for a new bookmaker to use for this week's racing, check out more free bets from the best betting sites, reviewed by our experts. 2.55 Pontefract – Pomfret Stakes (Listed, 1m; Racing TV) POINT LYNAS (NAP) looks like being hard to catch again in this Listed contest, the only worry being that this comes just two weeks after a big front-running effort when second in the Group 2 Summer Mile at Ascot. His only previous start at Pontefract came in this race last year, when Point Lynas won by five and a half lengths. 4.25 Pontefract – Class 4 Handicap (5f; Racing TV) ELEGANT ERIN is a course-and-distance winner who has been holding her form well lately, notably finishing runner-up three times in a row this year. That sequence of seconds was interrupted when she finished only seventh at Newcastle on her latest outing, but that was a Class 2 contest and Paul Midgley's mare still ran creditably in a race that didn't unfold ideally. Selection: Elegant Erin 1pt win @ SP with William Hill When is the next big racing festival? The week-long Galway Festival kicks off in Ireland on Monday, followed a day later by Glorious Goodwood. Check out the latest Glorious Goodwood free bets and betting offers. The latter is a five-day fixture and is set to feature Field Of Gold, possibly the best horse in the world, in the Sussex Stakes on Wednesday, one of three Group 1s at the meeting. What does NAP mean? NAP is a word used in betting circles to describe a prediction that a tipster thinks has a particularly strong chance of winning. Many horse racing tipsters pick out a 'NAP of the day', which is their favoured selection from all the races across the different meetings. The term derives from the French card game Napoleon. When players of this game thought they had a particularly strong hand that they would win with, they would shout 'Napoleon'.
