Today's Horse Racing NAPs
Our top tipsters return with their best bets for Tuesday's racing - Alan Kelly, bringing nearly five decades of tipping expertise, and Charlie McCann, former talkSPORT racing correspondent with deep industry insight, reveal their horse racing nap for today.
Alan Kelly's Horse Racing Nap - Tuesday, September 16th
After dead-heating for second in a valuable fillies' handicap at Doncaster's St Leger meeting last week, just a short head behind the progressive Cape Flora, David O'Meara's RYKA looks well-treated off her current mark of 84 before the handicapper reassesses her. The three-year-old daughter of Night Of Thunder has already won three of her seven starts and, with plenty more improvement likely, David Nolan's mount is fancied to get the better of her seven rivals today.
Horse: Ryka
Trainer: David O'Meara
Race: 5:05pm Redcar
Charlie McCann's Horse Racing Nap - Tuesday, September 16th
Uttoxeter serves up a cracking card, and the 3m conditional jockeys' handicap hurdle looks a real highlight, featuring runners from many top yards. Paul Nicholls' Keel Strand saw his winning streak end here in July but returns fresh after a seven-week break, with the prevailing good ground likely to suit. However, preference is for Fergal O'Brien's GWASH, who was just denied over course and distance last time when a mistake three out arguably cost him victory. Raised 3lb for that run, Jack Hogan's claim offsets the rise, and he can gain compensation at a track where he's been unlucky before.
Horse: Gwash
Trainer: Fergal O'Brien
Race: 2:10pm Uttoxeter

What is a Nap of the Day?
A Nap of the Day is a selection put up by a tipster as their most confident bet - the one horse they think has the best chance of winning.
How do you Choose a Horse Racing NAP?
When choosing their Nap of the Day, our expert tipsters consider several factors, which include:
- Form: A horse’s recent form is a good indicator of its chances of winning. They look for horses that have been running consistently well.
- Course Record: A horse’s record at the track where it is running is also essential - some horses perform better at certain tracks than others.
- Ground Conditions: The ground conditions can affect a horse’s performance - some horses prefer soft ground, while others prefer firm ground.
- Draw: The draw can also make a difference, especially in sprint races, so this factor comes into play regularly on the flat.
- Trainer: A trainer’s record is another essential factor to consider - are their horses running well - do they have a strong record at the track?
- Jockey: Finally, a jockey’s ability can significantly impact a horse’s performance, and some horses get on better with a particular jockey onboard.
