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, July 3rd, Haydock
Arctic Fox ended a three-year drought on the Flat with a win in a Grassroots Stayers Series Qualifier at Carlisle and returns to a track where she's scored twice before. However, this extended 1m 3f fillies' handicap could go to the lightly raced LA CADALORA, who shaped with promise when third at Newbury on her seasonal and handicap debut. A close second at Doncaster next time behind two subsequent winners, she now drops back in trip and looks well placed to break her maiden under William Buick.
Horse: La Cadalora
Trainer: James Fanshawe
Race: 4:10pm Haydock
Odds: 5/2 with bet365
Charlie McCann's Horse Racing Nap - Thursday, July 3rd, Haydock
ANTHROPOLOGIST looked much improved when dropped back to 7f and fitted with cheekpieces for the first time, winning tidily at Ayr from a 4lb lower mark. He had struggled over a mile here previously, but the sharper trip suited him, and he returns with a favourable low draw. With Jason Hart riding well for Charlie Johnston and the headgear retained, the three-year-old looks capable of following up off a still-competitive rating.
Horse: Anthropologist
Trainer: Charlie Johnston
Race: 5:17pm Haydock
Odds: 9/4 with bet365

What is a Nap of the Day?
A Nap of the Day is a selection put up by a tipster as their most confident bet - the one horse they think has the best chance of winning.
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.
