Today's Horse Racing NAPs
Our top tipsters return with their best bets for Thursday'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 - Thursday, July 10th, Leopardstown
MISSISSIPPI RIVER, a well-bred Lope De Vega colt from Ballydoyle, returns to the scene of his commanding maiden win and looks primed to bounce back after a gallant effort conceding 17lb to Sujet at the Curragh. His close juvenile form with Irish Derby runner-up Serious Contender suggests he may now be ready to step into Listed or Group company.
Horse: Mississippi River
Trainer: Aidan O'Brien
Race: 7:20pm Leopardstown
Charlie McCann's Horse Racing Nap - Thursday, July 10th, Newmarket
SCANDINAVIA, a son of Justify, caught the eye in the Queen’s Vase and has attracted strong support for the Bahrain Trophy, given his narrow defeat behind Further. Despite a tough trip at Royal Ascot, he stayed on powerfully, suggesting he has the stamina to thrive here, and with Ryan Moore now aboard, he looks primed to take a major step forward in a field lacking standout opposition.
Horse: Scandinavia
Trainer: Aidan O'Brien
Race: 1:50pm Newmarket

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.
