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 - Friday, 26 December
Most of the higher-weighted runners in this Pertemps Hurdle Qualifier arrive out of form, making ABSOLUTELY DOYEN appealing at the foot of the weights, especially with rivals El Capitaine and Moonset both racing from 4lb out of the handicap and Freddie Keighley's valuable 7lb claim enhancing the advantage.
Horse: Absolutely Doyen
Trainer: Paul Nicholls
Race: 3:13pm Wincanton
Charlie McCann's Horse Racing Nap - Friday, 26 December
Florita is likely to attract plenty of support for this 2m3f+ contest after her Market Rasen win, but a 9lb rise looks steep for a race that didn't strike me as strong, and preference is for ATHAIR MOR despite his own 3lb increase. Formerly with James Ewart, the selection looked the likely winner over course and distance last time when going clear at the last before being caught late by a 22/1 outsider, and with Ryan Mania expected to time his challenge to perfection, he gets the nod to go one better.
Horse: Athair Mor
Trainer: Paul Robson
Race: 12:27pm Wetherby

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.
