Today's Horse Racing NAPs
Our top tipsters are back with their best bets for Thursday.
Alan Kelly - boasting nearly five decades of tipping experience - and Charlie McCann, former talkSPORT racing correspondent with deep industry insight, reveal their Nap of the Day.
Alan Kelly's Horse Racing Nap - Thursday, 22 October
Nap of the Day: Caballo De Guerra - 1:52pm Carlisle
Trainer: Russell/Scudamore | Jockey: Jack Power | Odds: 9/4
This Go North Sea Pigeon Series Qualifier for conditional jockeys looks set to go the way of Caballo De Guerra, ridden by the talented Jack Power. The five-year-old has failed to add to his debut hurdles win at Kelso, but he has been set stiff tests, including finishing fifth in the Grade 2 bet365 Premier Novices’ Hurdle in February. After a five-month break he was beaten just half a length at Perth last month off a mark of 115. Raised 1lb, he can go one better with that run under his belt.

Nap of the Day: Tiger - 2:55pm Newmarket
Trainer: Ian Williams | Jockey: Jack Dace | Odds: 12/1
Ian Williams’ Tiger is not the most consistent and ran a shocker at Epsom over 12f last time, but the form of his Chester win over today’s trip is working out well. He enjoys a bit of dig in the ground, and with 5lb claimer Jack Dace taking over he is only 2lb higher than that Chester win. His last two runs can be forgiven, as he was never put into the race over a trip that stretched his stamina.

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 has the best winning chance based on form, ground conditions, trainer and jockey statistics, and pace setup.
Our Nap of the Day is carefully selected using a blend of data analysis and expert insight, making it one of the most trusted daily pointers for serious punters.
Whether you're new to racing or looking to fine-tune your strategy, understanding the reasoning behind a horse racing nap can help you make more informed, confident betting decisions.
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.
