Today's Horse Racing NAPs
Our top tipsters return with their best bets for Monday'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 - Monday, 26 January
Nap of the Day: Quay Item - 1:20pm Plumpton
Trainer: Nicky Henderson | Jockey: Nico De Boinville | Odds: 6/4
Nicky Henderson can bounce back at Plumpton and, while both of his runners have strong claims, QUAY ITEM gets the vote to land the opener. Third on stable debut at Doncaster behind rivals who have boosted the form since, he should find this an easier assignment and can open his account over hurdles.
Charlie McCann's Horse Racing Nap - Monday, 26 January
Nap of the Day: Out Of Office - 3:30pm Hereford
Trainer: Evan Williams | Jockey: Ben Jones | Odds: 7/2
Evan Williams looks set to have this handicap hurdle stitched up with his two Rutter-owned runners, with OUT OF OFFICE preferred to come out on top. He shaped well on his Carlisle comeback and, with Ben Jones taking over, can build on that run and take advantage of this opportunity before returning to fences next season.

What is a Nap of the Day?
In horse racing betting, a nap is a tipster's strongest selection of the day - the horse they believe offers the best chance of winning based on form, track conditions, trainer/jockey stats and pace analysis.
Our nap of the day is hand-picked with a blend of data and expert insight, making it one of the most reliable daily pointers for serious punters.
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.
