Friday’s Nap of the Day: Upset on the cards in valuable Windsor contest?

Posted on: 17 Jan 2025

I could’ve run that race on foot yesterday (as could anyone reading this) and done no worse, such was the level of effort delivered by Antiphon. Back to the drawing board. On Friday, there’s a nice little card at Windsor, and it’s the 15:35 contest that has grabbed my attention. I’ll start by saying that this is of course a […]

Thursday’s Nap of the Day: Well handicapped type to pounce now dropped in grade?

Posted on: 16 Jan 2025

When last involved, it was not to be for Attaboyarchie, who certainly ran a good race at big odds, finishing in a respectable third. After a quiet start to the week, the Nap is back in action on Thursday, where a race at Chelmsford catches the eye. That race is the 19:30 contest, a five-furlong handicap of the Class 5 […]

Saturday’s Nap of the Day: Attaboyarchie to please connections at Fairyhouse

Posted on: 10 Jan 2025

The new year hasn’t exactly gone swimmingly in terms of Nap results, though the overall profit and loss (found at the bottom) of this page/thread continues to be quite healthy. Now, given that we’ve seen meeting after meeting surrender to the treacherous conditions over the last week or so, there’s a decent chance that the racing at Fairyhouse won’t go […]

Wednesday’s Nap of the Day: Don’t discount this outsider at Newcastle

Posted on: 08 Jan 2025

Yesterday’s runner was well backed, going off a good bit shorter than advised, and he didn’t exactly run a bad race, finishing third, without ever troubling the winner. Moving on. It’s another relatively low-key day on Wednesday, though at least National Hunt fans have something to cling to at Taunton. For me, the focus is Newcastle, where ahead of the […]

Saturday’s Nap of the Day: Thunder N Lightnin could strike in the opener at Wincanton

Posted on: 03 Jan 2025

Friday’s Nap didn’t quite cut it, with Calanthe coming into the race relatively well before flattening out rather rapidly. Moving on. The best day of the week in terms of quality is upon us, and ahead of Saturday’s racing, I’m interested in the opener at Wincanton, where Thunder N Lightnin looks like a nice bet at chunky odds. Let’s face […]

Friday’s Nap of the Day: Calanthe can get it done at Lingfield

Posted on: 03 Jan 2025

Well, Our Pink Lady certainly didn’t deliver the goods yesterday. Is she still running? Ahead of Friday’s action, I’m heading back to the all-weather (not literally, it’s far too cold for that), where the 14:45 contest at Lingfield catches the eye, chiefly because Calanthe looks a little generously priced at odds of 8/1. Disappointing in a recent run over hurdles, […]

Thursday’s Nap of the Day: Our Pink Lady to improve on recent reappearance

Posted on: 01 Jan 2025

No dice with the previous Nap, but we closed the year in a healthy position from a profit and loss point of view, turning a profit in each of the four months that the ‘Nap of the Day’ ran. Happy new year to all. Time to get back down to business, and we start the new year ahead of Thursday’s […]

Sunday’s Nap of the Day: Erne River can make a mockery of hefty early odds

Posted on: 28 Dec 2024

It’s been a little while since the ‘Nap of the Day’ was last in action, just over a week in fact, but we’re back ahead of Sunday’s racing, and we’re back following what was an excellent winner, with Fiercely Proud getting the job done at 12/1 last Saturday, giving the December figures both a timely and healthy boost. Ahead of […]

Thursday’s Nap of the Day: Sizable Sam can get involved at sizable odds

Posted on: 18 Dec 2024

Last week, I’d held back a ‘Nap of the Day’ slot until Sunday, only for the site to go down for a few days, so it’s been a while since this page was last in action, but we’re back ahead of Thursday’s action. On Thursday, I’m interested in the 13:55 at Exeter, where to my eyes, Sizable Sam looks overpriced […]

Man City relegation odds shorten again as ‘Trial of the Century’ concludes

Posted on: 12 Dec 2024

With news emerging recently that the trial regarding Manchester City’s financial breaches had reached its conclusion, odds remain alarmingly short for the Citizens to be relegated from the Premier League after 23 years of unbroken membership. City are now viewed as equally likely to be relegated as they are to win the title, with their recent on-field woes coming in […]

Tuesday’s Nap of the Day: Mister Wilson isn’t to be overlooked at Uttoxeter

Posted on: 09 Dec 2024

The run of relative no-shows continued on Saturday. Let’s see what the new week brings. I’ll be kicking things off on Tuesday with a bet at Uttoxeter, where Kerry Lee looks to have an interesting runner in the 14:42 contest, a handicap hurdle over the minimum trip. Mister Wilson will not only make his debut for Kerry Lee, but this […]

Saturday’s Nap of the Day: Return to Sandown can spark a revival for Spirit D’aunou

Posted on: 06 Dec 2024

Yesterday’s Nap was a disappointing one, with Jupiter Allen failing to take another step in the right direction. Hopefully Saturday brings a turnaround in fortunes. There’s certainly no shortage of racing on Saturday, and as is always the case on the busiest day of the week, narrowing it down to just one bet is never the easiest task. Ahead of […]

Friday’s Nap of the Day: Jupiter Allen can once again thrive under favourable conditions

Posted on: 05 Dec 2024

Tramuntana was well backed on Tuesday, going off considerably shorter than the recommended early odds of 14/1. Without threatening to win, he ran respectably for third. There’s likely a victory in him soon. Anyway, time for Friday’s Nap. Ahead of Friday’s racing at Sandown, I’m taken by Jupiter Allen, who looked like a potential improver when winning over fences on […]

Tuesday’s Nap of the Day: Tramuntana to cause a stir at Southwell

Posted on: 02 Dec 2024

Sadly November didn’t end on a winning note, with Twinjets running no sort of race on Saturday, leaving us with modest profit for the month. Still, that’s three profitable months on the spin. Let’s see what December brings. I’m starting this week’s trio of Naps with a punt at Southwell, where ahead of the maiden hurdle taking place at 14:15, […]

Saturday’s Nap of the Day: Twinjets can turn on the turbo at Newbury

Posted on: 29 Nov 2024

Scarface certainly ran a good race yesterday after decent support saw him go off a little shorter than the advised odds of 13/2. Unfortunately, he could only manage second, and I couldn’t say that he was unlucky either, with the winner well clear. A very credible effort, but not enough to collect. Moving on. Nobody needs me to tell them […]

Friday’s Nap of the Day: Scarface can scar his rivals at Newbury

Posted on: 28 Nov 2024

It wasn’t to be on Wednesday as we never really got to see what Ultra Beat had, with the gelding falling early doors. Not the first to do that, won’t be the last. Ahead of Friday’s action, it’s all about Newbury, where I’m primarily interested in Scarface, who runs in the event taking place at 14:30, a Class 2 chase […]

Wednesday’s Nap of the Day: Ultra Beat to beat his rivals to the line at Hereford? 

Posted on: 26 Nov 2024

Saturday’s Nap was a non-runner. Nothing ventured, nothing gained and all that. It’s a new week, and with the drop down to publishing three times per week, I’ve kept my powder dry over the first few days of the week, so we’re starting on Wednesday.  The meeting in focus on Wednesday is the one at Hereford, where ahead of the […]

Saturday’s Nap of the Day: Dare To Shout might just dare to win at Haydock

Posted on: 22 Nov 2024

When last in action with the Nap of the Day (Wednesday), it wasn’t to be as Cloud Dancer ran modestly (at best), plugging on for a never-nearer fourth. Onwards and upwards.  Back at it on Saturday, where the Nap races at Haydock. The horse in question is lightly-raced chaser Dare To Shout, who runs in the 15:40, an extended three-mile-one-furlong […]

Wednesday’s Nap of the Day: Cloud Dancer can go one better now back up in trip 

Posted on: 19 Nov 2024

What can I say about yesterday’s bet Harry Brown, other than ask if he’s still running? Well handicapped, for sure, but not to be on that occasion. No-shows of that nature are simply part and parcel of the game. Moving on.  On Wednesday, I’m drawn to Cloud Dancer, who runs Gary and Jamie Moore in the 13:00 race at Warwick.  […]

Tuesday’s Nap of the Day: Harry Brown to thrive under Hayley Turner 

Posted on: 18 Nov 2024

After Friday’s timely winner at Cheltenham, things weren’t so rosy on Saturday, with Thanksforthehelp delivering his best effort for a while, but not quite pulling out enough. He’s well handicapped for sure, so don’t be surprised if he pops up and lands a decent prize before too long.  A new week for the Nap of the Day column begins with […]

Saturday’s Nap of the Day: Will Thanksforthehelp be thanking his rivals at Cheltenham? 

Posted on: 15 Nov 2024

Well, my first bet of the season at the home of jumps racing couldn’t have gone much better, with Wreckless Eric getting the job done in the final race yesterday, confirming the suspicions that odds of 15/2 were generous.  Now for the last Nap of the week, and we’re back at Cheltenham on Saturday. Once again, we’re focusing on one […]
