Among them are former world-record purchases Regent's Stroll and Caldwell Potter, bought in-part by none other than Sir Alex Ferguson. The only place to get Templegate's tips first - and at the best prices - is by joining Sun Racing's brilliant Members Enclosure.

But despite the hundreds of thousands of pounds being spent, Dineen reckons Nicholls - who appeared alongside on a live show a matter of days ago - is struggling for true top class talent to take on the Irish. In a truly withering attack on a giant of the sport, respected punter Dineen said on the Racing Post's Upping The Ante show: "Paul Nicholls is a great operator, a great trainer, but he just doesn't have the horses to compete.
"His horses are rubbish. I looked at his runners for the last 21 days and I didn't realise that he has such bad horses. "It's like at Man United, the problem is the sourcing of the horses - whoever is in charge of sourcing the horses is not doing a good job.
