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, June 10th, Catterick
This 5f contest may come down to Vibrant Pearl and RADIO STAR, who were second and third behind Maddelina at Pontefract last month, with the form boosted by Maddelina's Thirsk run on Friday. Although Radio Star has a length to find, she made much of the running that day, and a change in tactics could tip the balance, having also gone down narrowly at Southwell and Wolverhampton when racing prominently. Sam James takes over now, and if she's ridden with a bit more restraint - as seen in solid efforts at Chester and Nottingham as a juvenile - she could finally get off the mark at the ninth time of asking.
Horse: Radio Star
Trainer: Ollie Sangster
Race: 5:40pm Catterick
Odds: 2/1 with bet365
Charlie McCann's Horse Racing Nap - Tuesday, June 10th, Wolverhampton
Trainer Simon West sticks with 5lb claimer Rhys Elliot on HIJO DE LA LUNA, despite a poor ride at Chelmsford on the gelding’s last Flat outing, and will be hoping that loyalty pays off in the first division of the 0-50 Classified Stakes. A 24-race maiden, the five-year-old has shown glimpses of ability at Newcastle and returns to Tapeta with a good draw in stall three, plus a recent third over hurdles to his name. With West’s yard in form after a 28/1 winner at Hamilton last week, a more positive ride from Elliot could see him go close.
Horse: Hijo De La Luna
Trainer: Simon West
Race: 4:45pm Wolverhampton
Odds: 11/2 with BetGoodwin

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.
