Horse racing tips: Taunton, Southwell and Doncaster – Templegate’s betting preview for the racing this Tuesday, January 9

HIT them for six in Taunton’s 3.20.

OPENING BATSMAN (nap) was a smart chaser in his earlier years and was in good form last season.

He’s had a break since but this is a much easier task than he usually faces and he has winning form with this jockey.

EARTHMOVES (2.10 Taunton, nb) bounced back to form at Exeter last time and can go one better here.

He enjoyed a good run of form last season and should be spot on for this.

SWIFT CEDAR (12.15 Southwell, treble) has terrific form figures at this track and could be hard to beat.

He went close here last time and he is not to be dismissed at his favourite track.
