TEMPLEGATE takes on Monday's racing looking to build the bank ahead of the Grand National.

Read on to find out his best tips – and you can find out his Irish Grand National selections here too.

LAVENDER’S BLUE (4.02 Kempton, nap)

She was unlucky when second in a Lingfield Listed race last time. She finished with a full tank after being blocked a couple of times. She held her own at Group 1 level last term and will go close if fit and ready on comeback.

MOSTAHDAF (3.30 Kempton, nb)

didn’t have to leave first gear when winning on debut at Newcastle 20 days ago. This son of Frankel should relish this step up to a mile and can progress again.

ASDAA (2.30 Wolverhampton, treble)

Jockey Jonny Peate continues to fire in the winners and his 5lb claim can do the trick for this five-year-old. He went close here last time when this longer trip suited well.
