TEMPLEGATE takes on Monday's racing with his top tips.

Read on below to find out who our man – the top tipster in Britain by a stretch – thinks will land the spoils.

GOSNAY GOLD (4.00 Chepstow, nap).

He heads here on the back of a close second in a better race at Goodwood last time.

He went a bit quick early and was just collared late. Dropping to this level and a more patient ride should do the trick.

He was impressive when winning his maiden at Bath last month. His opening handicap mark is fair and this longer trip should suit.
