Friday's Nap of the Day Selections
Our top tipsters return with their best bets for Friday’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
East India Dock was a useful handicapper up to 2 miles last season, and he’s since thrived over hurdles, finishing third in the Triumph Hurdle at Cheltenham. Now returns to the Flat with a real chance of being even better - he stays well and looks a major player in this historic race.
Horse: East India Dock
Trainer: James Owen
Race: 3:05pm Chester
Odds: 4/1 with bet365
Charlie McCann's Nap of the Day Tip
A well-bred Frankel colt who showed a sharp turn of foot to win at Kempton, Brave Mission makes his handicap debut off 91. Withdrawn from Newmarket last week, he's back here with connections seemingly confident, and this drop to 7f should reveal whether Royal Ascot is a realistic target.
Horse: Brave Mission
Trainer: Ralph Beckett
Race: 1:50pm Ascot
Odds: 4/1 with BetVictor

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.
