Today's Horse Racing NAPs
Our top tipsters return with their best bets for Saturday'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 - Saturday, 21 February
Nap of the Day: Anglers Crag - 2:43pm Newcastle
Trainer: Nicky Richards | Jockey: Danny McMenamin | Odds: 4/1
Last year’s winner ANGLERS CRAG can strike again on his first start in the Eider for Nicky Richards, having been revitalised by a switch of yards with a dominant nine-length success at Carlisle. Off just 4lb higher than his previous win and proven in heavy ground, the 11-year-old looks primed to give his new trainer another big-race success.
Charlie McCann's Horse Racing Nap - Saturday, 21 February
Nap of the Day: Califet En Vol - 4:05pm Kempton
Trainer: Nicky Henderson | Jockey: Nico de Boinville | Odds: 4/1
Last year's winner Bad is three from three over course and distance, but now runs from a mark 10lb higher and didn't look entirely straightforward at Ascot last time, making 5/2 short enough in a deep race. Preference is for CALIFET EN VOL, unbeaten going right-handed and solid in stronger company at Cheltenham this season, who looks primed to strike off 136 if the flatter track plays to his strengths.

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.
