Who are the racing boffins really backing today? Well, Paddy’s done the hard graft and collected all their NAPs and presented them beautifully in a snazzy table below.

You couldn’t be more wrong if you thought it was any old Thursday in the horse racing world. We’re in for a right treat with a pair of Pattern races on either side of the Irish Sea.

NEW TO PADDY POWER?

Leopardstown boasts a card including the Group 3 Desmond Stakes, with Royal Ascot winner Create Belief declared, and Listed Vinnie Roe Stakes among the seven races.

Salisbury‘s Group 3, the Sovereign Stakes, has a £38,279 prize for the winner and a host of classy performers including Oh This Is Us, Sir Busker and Solid Stone are set to run.

Ffos Las and Beverley also host afternoon cards, there’s Racing League action on the all-weather at Lingfield, while Chelmsford gets involved in the evening fun. If that’s not enough it’s also the first day of Tramore‘s August Festival which kicks off with seven National Hunt races from 5.15pm.

The NAPs Table is arranged by the Level Stakes of the tipsters so you know who’s on their game and who’s not. If you back a winner today then we’ll just take credit for the assist. You’re welcome!

Templegate leads the way in the NAPs Table and The Sun’s top tipster is backing Ivatheengine in the 6.08pm at Lingfield. Megallan in the 4.05pm at Salisbury is a popular pick with five of the experts picking the John & Thady Gosden-trained three-year-old.

Like the look of one of the NAPs? Well, you can place a bet by clicking on the ‘Bet Now’ button next to your selection in the table below.

We’ve also got live streams of today’s racing over to paddypower.com – and you don’t even need to have a punt to watch!
