NAP of the Day Tips

Our NAP of the Day is the single selection our expert team believes has the clearest winning chance based on form, trends, pace, ground, and market value.

Updated every evening, this is the bet we expect to set the standard on today’s card.

A NAP (originating from a card game called Napoleon) is our tipster’s most confident bet of the day. i.e. the horse considered to have the strongest winning chance on the entire card.

It’s the top pick after all analysis is done, often backed by clear form trends, proven course suitability or a standout piece of value the market hasn’t spotted yet.

Where a Lucky 15 or accumulator spreads risk across several horses, the NAP is all about one high-confidence choice.

Expert Analysis You Can Trust

Our tipsters take a strict, structured approach when identifying each day’s NAP:

• Horse form: how the horse is shaping from run to run
• Trainer form: who targets which races, tracks and seasonal windows
• Jockey bookings: key partnerships, confidence signals, strong combos
• Ground & trip: whether conditions suit or provide a clear advantage
• Market intelligence: early moves, smart money, mispriced runners

It’s a blend of data and years of experience in the Horse Racing betting world, all focused on delivering the best bet of the day.

Our NAP nearly exclusively comes from UK racing, where form lines, conditions and market behaviour are most reliable. From big Saturday cards to midweek handicaps, we assess every meeting including:

• Cheltenham
• Ascot
• Aintree
• York
• Newbury
• Sandown
• Doncaster

And more across the Flat, Jumps and All-Weather seasons.

We also publish tomorrow’s NAP once odds and list of runners are released.

The confirmed NAP for tomorrow is usually published by 7pm the evening before, once markets stabilise and a number of bookmakers have priced up each race.

Every race where a standout angle appears whether it’s class, form, trainer or value. We cover all Saturday meetings - which are shown live on ITV Racing.

Within and outside this, we will cover all major races, such as feature handicaps and Graded & Group races.

Throughout the year, we will cover both turf and All Weather cards, plus strong Irish racing and other international races like as the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe.

The best quality racing, and often the most competition, comes at major festivals such as Cheltenham, Royal Ascot, the Grand National, the St Leger and more. We provide free tips for every race at these meetings.
