TEMPLEGATE returns to tackle the Tote Placepot at Haydock on Saturday.
The Placepot is a bet where you select a horse to be placed in the FIRST SIX races of any meeting.

You can pick more than one horse in a race – you just multiply the number of selections in each race to calculate your stake. So for staking it’s 2x1x2x1x2x2 which adds up to 16 lines.
You can stake what you want upwards from 5p a line. 10p a line is £1.60 with our picks and so on.

Haydock Placepot tips for Saturday
LEG 1: Live In The Dream
LIVE IN THE DREAM had the time of his life last season, winning the Group 1 Nunthorpe at York before running a cracker at the Breeders’ Cup in the States. He was a close second on comeback here in the Temple Stakes and is hard to fault down in class.
LEG 2: Divina Grace, Knightswood
DIVINA GRACE came back from a break to finish a close-up third at Goodwood last time. It was all the better as she was up with a breakneck pace and managed to keep going. This trip on decent ground are ideal and there’s more to come.
KNIGHTSWOOD came right back to form when third at Doncaster last time. He had a lot of ground to make up late and finished well. He can figure off the same mark

LEG 3: Queen Of The Pride, Sapphire Seas
QUEEN OF THE PRIDE went close at Goodwood trying this trip for the first time. She was back from seven months off so will improve for the run and has a lot more to come. SAPPHIRE SEAS has been doing well over 1m2f at Group 2 level and went for home too early at York last time. This longer trip will help and she is dangerous.
LEG 4: Noble Dynasty, Witch Hunter
NOBLE DYNASTY powered home from the front to win a hot handicap at Newmarket last time. He has lots of pace for this trip and the second has franked the form by winning. This is his for the taking.
WITCH HUNTER ran a cracker when third in the Group 1 Lockinge and has form over this shorter trip too. He goes on any ground and looks the main threat.

Horse racing tips: This 17-2 chance running over ideal trip is one of three place punts on Monday
LEG 5: Tennessee Gold, Shy Hi Bye
TENNESSEE GOLD had plenty in hand when scoring at Kempton on handicap debut and can transfer that good form to turf.
SHY HI BYE battled right to the line when winning at Ayr latest and can figure on handicap debut for William Haggas.
LEG 6: Al Barez, Radio Goo Goo
AL BAREZ has won his past two runs nicely and has every chance of bringing up the hat-trick.
RADIO GOO GOO got the job done at Ripon and has scored over this course and distance.
