Templegate tips today and tomorrow at Cheltenham Festival

Templegate tips for Cheltenham (today and tomorrow) are among the most-read daily selections in UK racing, with the Sun’s long-running column publishing a NAP, NB and Treble each morning. If you’re checking in ahead of the Festival, the key is understanding what those labels mean, where to find the picks quickly, and what the numbers actually say about long-term performance.

Templegate tips – overview

Templegate’s Cheltenham coverage is popular because it is written in plain language, with selections justified in a way casual punters can follow. The column has had multiple tipsters over the decades and, in more recent years, the role has been associated with Steve Mullen, whose background includes work for racing publications and form services.

The Templegate angle is simple: publish a small set of daily picks, highlight the strongest fancy as the NAP, add a second choice as the NB and then offer a Treble for readers who like multiples. Around Cheltenham, Aintree and Royal Ascot, that routine becomes required reading for many punters looking for a fast, digestible view of the day.

Templegate tips for Cheltenham – today and tomorrow

What Templegate publishes each day

• NAP – Templegate’s main bet of the day, presented as the strongest selection.
• NB – “Next best”, the second-choice selection on the card.
• Treble – A multiple bet using the NAP and NB, plus a third selection, all to win.

That simple format is a big reason the column travels well online: it gives readers a clear hierarchy of confidence and makes it easy to pull out the day’s key picks at a glance.

Reported NAP stats and performance context

One point often raised around any newspaper tipster is the reality of price sensitivity. A daily column is read at different times, meaning some readers can miss early prices—particularly around major meetings when markets react quickly. Templegate’s approach is more about providing a readable shortlist than “beating the market” for every reader at every time of day.

Multiples explained: Treble and Trixie

What is a Templegate Treble?

A Treble is a single bet that combines three winners. It can deliver a bigger payout than singles, but all three selections must win for the treble to land. It’s high-risk by design, which is why it’s often framed as an “interest” bet rather than the core bet of the day.

What is a Trixie?

A Trixie is a popular multiple that uses three selections but places four bets: three doubles and one treble. In simple terms, a £1 Trixie costs £4. It can be a more forgiving alternative to a straight treble because you can still get a return with two winners (via a double).
