Today's NAPs Table Top 3
The top three are tightly bunched on the leaderboard, with barely a few points separating first from third. It’s a competitive week, and with Glendown potentially going off at double-figure odds, Chris Connolly’s lead could either stretch or vanish in one race. Matt Polley and The Brigadier both side with shorter-priced fancies, so steady returns might keep them in touch. The margins are fine - one outsider landing could flip the order completely by tonight!

Templegate & Other Big Names’ NAPs
Templegate, Robin Goodfellow and Newsboy are three of the most followed names in racing journalism, each with their own distinct method when it comes to finding winners.

- Robin Goodfellow: Jack Sparowe (4:35 Kempton)
- Newsboy: Sergeant Fury (14:35 Ludlow)

Racing News Round-Up
- Godolphin Splash The Cash - The boys in blue put down a whopping 9.3m Guineas on a firework filled day 1 at Tatts Book 1 sales. Certainly kicking things off with a statement of intent!
- “I think I’ll come on for the run!" - Top jockey Nico De Boinville, the rider tasked with steering Constitution Hill, Sir Gino, Jonbon and more for Nicky Henderson, returned with a win on Monday at Stratford. He had not taken a ride since Easter Monday when suffering a nasty fall but now looks primed for another big season and clearly thinks he'll improve for the effort.
