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, 13 December
This looks a weak Grade 2 and a fine chance for northern star CONMAN JOHN to back up his October win on Cheltenham’s Old course, with the 2nd and 5th from that race both boosting the form since - unlike main rival They Call Me Hugo, whose Ffos Las win hasn’t worked out. Highly regarded by the Russell and Scudamore team, he really should account for this field under Derek Fox before connections plot a possible Albert Bartlett Festival tilt.
Horse: Conman John
Trainer: Lucinda Russell & Michael Scudamore
Race: 3:00pm Cheltenham
Charlie McCann's Horse Racing Nap - Saturday, 13 December
Drying ground would be ideal for SPADESTEP, who was heavily backed when a fine runner-up on chase debut at Aintree and has only been nudged up 2lb for that effort, with the form looking strong given Jordans Cross would likely have followed up at Cheltenham but for falling late. With a first-time tongue-tie fitted, Patrick Wadge taking over, and conditions hopefully no worse than good to soft, he looks poised to run a big race.
Horse: Spadestep
Trainer: Lucinda Russell & Michael Scudamore
Race: 12:55pm Doncaster

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.
