Each and every day of the racing year we bring you a bumper NAPs table to give you the inside scoop on all the plays you’ll need that day.

WELCOME TO PADDY POWER NEWS!

Don’t know what a NAPs table is? We’ll tell you! It’s an independently run competition involving the cream of the British and Irish racing press whose positions in the table are based on their profits to Level Stakes. And just like all sports competitions worldwide, those doing best are towards the top of the table.

So, we decided to put that golden guide to the test and use it to steer you towards what could be a savvy Lucky 15 (4 horses, 15 bets). The four you’ll see below are the selections of some of the top-performing tipsters in the table. Let’s get to the bets…

14:10 Taunton – Inca De Lafayette (888Sport, Steve Mullington)

Comfortable C&D winner on British debut in February; form of that is nothing special but prospect of further improvement makes him an attractive proposition

15:20 Ffos Las – Amateur (Daily Mail, Robin Goodfellow)

Below best during light campaign this season but didn’t run badly when fifth in Borders National at Kelso (4m, soft) two starts ago and is now only 5lb higher than when winning this race in good style a year ago; tried in blinkers last time; usual cheekpieces back on today.

16:40 Aintree – Gunsight Ridge (Irish Post, Karl Hedley)

Seemed to be caught out by this sharp test in November but has the edge of Bun Doran on their Sandown run in January (1m7f, heavy; also suited by good to soft) and was better than the bare result there in February; unlike many of these runners he has some potential.

17:00 Gowran Park – You Owe Me Money (Irish Daily Star, Brian Flanagan)

Maiden after 10 but has run creditably all four tries for this yard, including when a bit unlucky in third at the Curragh on comeback behind Massaman; solid chance off 2lb higher; non-runner (reserve) in the 5.20 at Leopardstown Wednesday.
