Today's Horse Racing NAPs
Our top tipsters are back with their best bets for Monday.
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 - Monday, 26 October
Nap of the Day: Lucy The Wire - 2:52pm Hereford
Trainer: James Owen| Jockey: Jonathan Burke | Odds: 9/4
LUCY THE WIRE looks James Owen’s strongest chance on the card, having won twice over hurdles, most recently off a mark of 100 at Worcester, before finishing second off 5lb higher at Stratford nine days later. A recent win on the Flat at Kempton should ensure she is fit for this extended 2m mares’ handicap hurdle.
Charlie McCann's Horse Racing Nap - Monday, 26 October
Nap of the Day: The Big Westerner - 3:05pm Wexford
Trainer: Henry de Bromhead | Jockey: Darragh O'Keeffe | Odds: 11/10
THE BIG WESTERNER had her Cheltenham and Punchestown plans scuppered by quick ground last season, but Henry de Bromhead’s mare ran well in defeat on her reappearance and should be suited by the forecast soft conditions. With the yard in good form, she can defy a weight concession to her four rivals in this Listed contest before stepping up in grade.

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.
