Today's Horse Racing NAPs
Our top tipsters return with their best bets for Friday'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 - Saturday, 31 January
Nap of the Day: Henri The Second - 3:10pm Sandown
Trainer: Paul Nicholls | Jockey: Harry Cobden | Odds: 3/1
After finishing 3rd of 4 on his second start over fences at Doncaster on his reappearance in November, Harry Cobden’s mount reverted back to the smaller obstacles for a two and a half mile handicap on this course earlier in the month. Staying-on to be beaten in a photo by Sam Thomas’s Range, Henri The Second will be better suited by this three and half furlong longer trip and can get back to winning ways off a mark 2lb lower than that of last year.
Charlie McCann's Horse Racing Nap - Saturday, 31 January
Nap of the Day: Henri The Second - 3:10pm Sandown
Trainer: Paul Nicholls | Jockey: Harry Cobden | Odds: 3/1
Henri The Second was a well backed favourite when 8l runner up to Red Dirt Road – makes his belated seasonal reappearance from a 6lbs higher mark - in this corresponding race last year and is 2lbs lower in the weights this afternoon. He ran an excellent race when second here over 2m4f here on ground too fast at the beginning of the month and a 1lbs rise looks fair. He looks a happier horse over timber than fences.

Whether you're new to racing or looking to sharpen your wagers, understanding the logic behind the horse racing naps can help you place more-informed bets.
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.
