ITV racing tips: NAPS for Saturday’s action as Matt Chapman and Templegate go head-to-head at Kempton, Lingfield and Newcastle
Chappers and Templegate face off in their NAP battle ahead of the Saturday's action

OUR two experts are back with their best bet this Saturday as the racing merry-go round rolls onto Kempton, Newcastle and Lingfield.
Both were outdone by the brilliant Cyrname last week and it's all to play for in the last week this of competition this February.
Chappers came out on top in a ding-dong head-to-head in January.
It's been neck and neck so far this month, with very little in it heading into the last week of competition.
Politologue and Waiting Patiently went down fighting to Cyrname last weekend and means there's less than two points in it.
Standings (£1 Stakes)
January: Chappers 1 - 0 Templegate
February:
Templegate +£0.67
Chappers -£1.00
Matt Chapman
A tough TV day to Nap with lots of short prices.
That said, the Grade 2 novice at Kempton at 1.50pm over an extended 2m4f gives us a decent chance.
Bags Groove is the best on paper, but I have a feeling this is the time to catch SECRET INVESTOR for Paul Nicholls who is in great form.
He had no chance against Ok Corral at Warwick last time but that horse is seriously talented and this is winnable.
Chapman's picks for the ITV races
- 1.50 Kempton - Secret Investor NAP
- 2.05 Lingfield - Encore D'Or
- 2.25 Kempton - Fusil Raffles
- 2.40 Newcastle - Baywing (EW)
- 3.00 Kempton - Angels Breath
- 3.15 Lingfield - Wissahickon
- 3.35 Kempton - Double Shuffle (EW)
Templegate
Talkischeap should cost the bookies a packet in the 888Sport Chase.
He was a promising novice hurdler last season when winning three of his five starts including a couple of wins on decent ground.
He ran really well behind dual Grade 1 winner La Bague Au Roi on his first two goes at chasing before winning a two-runner contest at Doncaster.
Alan King’s hope again ran a sound race when trying to give 6lbs to smart prospect On The Blind Side over today’s C&D last month, and I think he’s nicely treated for his handicap debut.
Templegate's picks for the ITV races
- 1.50 Kempton - Bags Groove
- 2.05 Lingfield - Corinthia Knight
- 2.25 Kempton - Ecco
- 2.40 Newcastle - West Of The Edge
- 3.00 Kempton - Angels Breath
- 3.15 Lingfield - Wissahickon
- 3.35 Kempton - Talkischeap NAP
