Today's Horse Racing NAPs
Our top tipsters return with their best bets for Saturday'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, 27 December
While Mr Vango's Welsh National success was fully deserved, he still faces a stiff task under 11st 11lb in this early-closing marathon, and the same weight concerns apply to Haiti Couleurs at the head of the weights. Instead, the vote goes to GIT MAKER (Each-Way), who boasts excellent big-race staying form and, after a prep run over hurdles, makes strong each-way appeal off just 10st 6lb for Jamie Snowden and Gavin Sheehan.
Horse: Git Maker (Each-Way)
Trainer: Jamie Snowden
Race: 2:50pm Chepstow
Charlie McCann's Horse Racing Nap - Saturday, 27 December
I'm a big fan of THE BIG WESTERNER, who shaped with real promise when second on her chase debut at Fairyhouse and looks primed to go one better here over a 2m6f+ trip that should play to her strengths. Despite Jade De Grugy's Grade 1 hurdling class, the Albert Bartlett runner-up's stamina and scope over fences give her the edge in testing conditions.
Horse: The Big Westerner
Trainer: Henry De Bromhead
Race: 1:27pm Limerick

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.
