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, 28 November
The staying hurdle division looks wide open this season, and I believe J.P. McManus's IMPOSE TOI could emerge as a leading British contender for the Stayers' Hurdle at Cheltenham, especially after his impressive 3m+ win at Aintree and Coral Cup runner-up finish.
Horse: Impose Toi
Trainer: Nicky Henderson
Race: 3:00pm Newbury
Charlie McCann's Horse Racing Nap - Friday, 28 November
I've waited until the final race on Newbury's superb card for a betting opportunity with DIAMOND RI (Each-Way), a horse I've long believed to be a 140+ prospect and who returns from a 590-day break in a competitive 3m handicap rather than the expected Pertemps qualifier. Despite the stamina question and a strong field headed by the short-priced Blue Carpet, Joe Tizzard's lightly raced gelding, who boasts strong novice form and has reportedly been working well, could outrun his mark if ready to go first time back.
Horse: Diamond Ri (Each-Way)
Trainer: Joe Tizzard
Race: 3:35pm Newbury

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.
