Today's Horse Racing NAPs
Our top tipsters are back with their best bets for Thursday.
Alan Kelly - boasting nearly five decades of tipping experience - and Charlie McCann, former talkSPORT racing correspondent with deep industry insight, reveal their Nap of the Day.
Alan Kelly's Horse Racing Nap - Thursday, 18 June
Nap of the Day: Joulany (Each-Way) - 3:05pm Royal Ascot
Trainer: Ralph Beckett | Jockey: Hector Crouch | Odds: 10/1
JOULANY (Each-Way) looks well treated for the King George V Stakes after chasing home both Derby runner-up Maltese Cross and Queen's Vase favourite Galiyan in strong novice company, form that reads well in the context of this handicap. A favourable draw, first-time tongue-tie and the likelihood of a stronger pace to aim at could help Ralph Beckett's progressive colt take another step forward at Royal Ascot.
Charlie McCann's Horse Racing Nap - Thursday, 18 June
Nap of the Day: Legacy Link - 3:40pm Royal Ascot
Trainer: John & Thady Gosden | Jockey: Colin Keane | Odds: 2/1
LEGACY LINK sets the standard in the Ribblesdale Stakes after finishing a clear second to Oaks winner Thundering Home, pulling well clear of the remainder in a performance that looks comfortably the best piece of form on offer. The Gosdens have an excellent record in this race and, provided her Epsom exertions have not left a mark, the Musidora winner looks the one they all have to beat.

What Is a Nap of the Day?
In horse racing betting, a nap is a tipster's strongest selection of the day - the horse they believe has the best winning chance based on form, ground conditions, trainer and jockey statistics, and pace setup.
Our Nap of the Day is carefully selected using a blend of data analysis and expert insight, making it one of the most trusted daily pointers for serious punters.
Whether you're new to racing or looking to fine-tune your strategy, understanding the reasoning behind a horse racing nap can help you make more informed, confident betting decisions.
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.
