TEMPLEGATE returns having banked a few tasty winners over the weekend.
Here, he takes on Monday's action and reveals his picks in each race.
BORN SURVIVOR (3.50 Stratford, nap)
He looks hard to beat on this big drop in class. He was a solid seventh in the Greatwood Gold Cup at Newbury last time and this better ground is right up his street.

THE KNOT IS TIED (4.00 Wincanton, nb)
He came right back to his best when finishing second at Doncaster earlier this month. He was stuck in the mud before that and these conditions look ideal again.
JEMIMA P (2.20 Stratford, treble)
She battled well to score at Exeter last time over this trip. The handicapper has been fair with a 5lb rise in the weights and there should be more to come on her third run over fences.
WINCANTON
1.00 Kalyptra
Showed promise when fourth on debut at Taunton latest.
1.30 Prince Llywelyn
Better effort over fences last time and doesn’t need much more.
2.00 Danny Kirwan
Has been running in much stronger races than this.
2.30 Keep Moving
Has shown best form over this course and distance.
3.00 Sashenka
Was going much the best when falling late on last time.
3.30 Ballybough Nora
Improved effort at Exeter and repeat would be good enough.
4.00 The Knot Is Tied (nb)
Good second at Doncaster and should be right there again.
FONTWELL
1.40 Drakes Well
Been knocking on the door and can take next step.
2.10 Friends Don’t Ask
Will find this a lot easier than last run in the Eider.
2.40 Fidelio Vallis
Stuck in the mud last time and this ground more suitable.
3.10 Bashful Boy
Has shown best form over this course and distance.
3.40 Celtic Joy
Has sights lowered and wind op should have helped too.
4.10 Jersey Wonder
Looks capable of better going up in trip on handicap debut.
4.40 Clondaw Robin
Consistent and another good effort at Plumpton last time out.
5.10 Furlough Me
Well bred and solid third on debut at Wincanton last time.
STRATFORD
1.50 Stepney Causeway
Good Flat performer who has taken well to hurdling.
2.20 Jemima P (treble)
Improved when winning at Exeter last time out.

3.50 BORN SURVIVOR (NAP)
Dropping down weights and yard in top form at present.
4.25 Our Rockstar
Won this two years ago and on similar mark today.
5.00 Quivvy Lough
Had a wind op and this better ground should really suit.
5.30 Get Sky High
Gone close on both bumper outings so far
WOLVERHAMPTON
4.50 Critical Thinking
Has landed six wins over this course and distance.
5.20 Arabescato
Plenty in hand when winning at Lingfield last time out.
5.50 Fierospeed
Went close over course and distance on latest outing.
6.20 Arthur’s Angel
