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, 5 February
Nap of the Day: Act Of Innocence - 3:10pm Huntingdon
Trainer: Nicky Henderson | Jockey: Nico De Boinville | Odds: 11/10
The Listed Sidney Bank Novices' Hurdle may not feature a Shishkin-level star this time, but it should still offer plenty of future clues, with Nicky Henderson targeting a fourth win in the race in the last decade. ACT OF INNOCENCE can get back to winning ways and confirm Newbury form with Sinnatra, as his narrow defeat to the well-handicapped Minella Yoga looks strong in hindsight.
Charlie McCann's Horse Racing Nap - Thursday, 5 February
Nap of the Day: Storming George - 3:25pm Doncaster
Trainer: Neil King | Jockey: Jack Quinlan | Odds: 3/1
With Doncaster set to ride on the soft side again, STORMING GEORGE looks the play — a dual course winner who should improve for this step up in trip and can bounce back from his below-par Formby Hurdle run.

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.
