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, 29 January
Nap of the Day: Stede Bonnet - 2:43pm Ayr
Trainer: Gordon Elliott | Jockey: Sean Bowen | Odds: Evens
Le Beau Madrik was an effortless winner at Newcastle just two days ago under Tristan Durrell, but it remains to be seen whether the Dan Skelton-trained grey will be turned out quickly again with Harry Skelton now booked. Regardless of his participation, preference is for Gordon Elliott's Irish raider STEDE BONNET, who followed a solid runner-up effort here with a convincing maiden win at Tramore, and looks a hurdler to follow going forward.
Charlie McCann's Horse Racing Nap - Thursday, 29 January
Nap of the Day: Tommy Combats - 3:43pm Ayr
Trainer: Martin Todhunter | Jockey: Callum Bewley | Odds: 7/2
TOMMY COMBATS was first past the post at Newcastle last time but remains unpenalised due to an unseat mid-race, and now drops back to his last winning trip with Callum Bewley retaining the ride. While not the easiest to win with, he's clearly well handicapped and has a great chance in a race that lacks depth.

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.
