TEMPLEGATE tackles Friday’s racing – which includes day two of the Cambridgeshire meeting from Newmarket – hungry for winners.

Back a horse by clicking their odds.

SIRONA (1.50 Newmarket, nap)

She has been running well all season and can land a deserved win with Ryan Moore taking over. She went close in a decent Longchamp contest last time and was beaten less than four lengths in the Group 1 Falmouth in July. She sees out this mile strongly and trainer David Menuisier is in good form.

TIME LOCK (2.25 Newmarket, nb)

She won this race 12 months ago and can defend her crown. This daughter of Frankel came good in the second half of last season and she has had a nice break since a fair third in a Group 2 here in July. She handles any ground and looks hard to stop.

MILITARY ACADEMY (4.45 Newmarket, treble)

He is bred to be a star and showed plenty of that quality when cruising home by six lengths at Salisbury two weeks ago. John Gosden steps him up in grade here but there should be a lot more to come.

MAFS UK fans think they’ve spotted a new romance on the show – and it’s not between a married coulple.

The series returned last week with 16 new people desperate to find love.

Eroteme

The E4 experts have matched them by their personalities, likes and dislikes.

But between eight couples there are only two that have yet to clash – Kristina and Kieran, and Ross and Sacha.

Polly and Adam have argued numerous times, after he confessed he wasn’t attracted to her and said he had asked the experts for a petite brunette.

During the first dinner party of the season, viewers spotted him eyeing up Lacey, who fits the bill.

Adam was chatting to Nathan about their honeymoons, and suddenly started quizzing him on his bride Lacey.

He said: “Was she in a bikini then?’ Little thong bikini?”

Moments later Lacey went to sit with the boys, including Ross.

Commenting as they watched the scenes, one viewer said: “When Lacey went to sit on the same sofa, Ross was making room between him and Nathan, but she chose to go and sit between Adam and Nathan.”

Another said: “Adam’s comments about Lacey, To her HUSBAND NO LESS.”

One more agreed with the comments and said: “Glad I’m not the only one who picked up on that!”

Polly couldn’t hold back the tears later on when they discussed their relationship at the commitment ceremony.

And Adam got a grilling from show experts Mel Schilling and Paul C Brunson.

Adam said: “It’s a tricky one. She obviously really fancies me and I want to say it back to her but I can’t. She’s not my usual type but I’m hers.

“Don’t get me wrong, she’s a good looking girl and we get on like a house on fire, but I just feel bad for her.”

The remark prompted smirks and raised eyebrows from the other couples around the room, and even Polly made a face.

Paul said: “It seems as if what you are actually doing is pushing yourself away from her.”

He added that Adam could “understand he’s in an unnatural experiment” and go “all in”.

‘I wanted to be back in time, not just for the mini jaffles, but to see you all.’
