Monday's Nap of the Day Selections
Our top tipsters return with their best bets for Monday'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 naps.
Alan Kelly's Nap of the Day Tip
Kingmaker shaped better than the result when a close third to Northwest Passage at Goodwood, having stumbled at the start and raced wide before weakening late on. With Oisin Murphy now taking over and a 4lb pull at the weights over a slightly longer trip, he looks poised to reverse the form and get off the mark in this Class 5 handicap.
Horse: Kingmaker
Trainer: Andrew Balding
Race: 7:50pm Windsor

Charlie McCann's Nap of the Day Tip
Kingmaker was given a questionable ride at Goodwood when well backed, hinting that connections see him as well treated by the handicapper. With Oisin Murphy now booked and a 1lb lower mark, he’s taken to reverse the form with Northwest Passage on 4lb better terms.
Horse: Kingmaker

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 Nap of the Day?
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.
