Today's Horse Racing NAPs
Our top tipsters return with their best bets for Wednesday'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 - Wednesday, 7 January
Nap of the Day: Sax Appeal - 7:30pm Kempton
Trainer: Charlie Johnston | Jockey: Warren Fentiman | Odds: 10/11
A small field for this London Stayers' Series Qualifier presents a fine opportunity for last year's final fourth SAX APPEAL to land a ninth all-weather win, having kept on well in the series final before scoring comfortably at Southwell just after Christmas. Despite meeting Bashful Boy on worse terms, the Charlie Johnston-trained six-year-old looks hard to oppose with Warren Fentiman's valuable 5lb claim, while Macari rates the main danger after a recent all-weather spin.
Charlie McCann's Horse Racing Nap - Wednesday, 7 January
Nap of the Day: Cruden (Each-Way) - 7:30pm Kempton
Trainer: Dan Horsford | Jockey: Jason Watson | Odds: 6/1
Sax Appeal will be popular for this 2m handicap after his fluent Southwell success over Christmas, with Warren Fentiman's 5lb claim offsetting his penalty and a previous course-and-distance win on Polytrack further boosting confidence. However, Charlie Johnston's CRUDEN (Each-Way) is taken to improve markedly on his promising Wolverhampton return after 233 days off, shaping well over 1m6f on his all-weather debut and now stepping up in trip with fitness, time and generous each-way terms on his side.

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 offers the best chance of winning based on form, track conditions, trainer/jockey stats and pace analysis.
Our nap of the day is hand-picked with a blend of data and expert insight, making it one of the most reliable daily pointers for serious punters.
Whether you're new to racing or looking to sharpen your wagers, understanding the logic behind the horse racing naps can help you place more-informed bets.
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.
