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.

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) today. The four you’ll see below are the selections of some of the top-performing tipsters in the Table. Let’s get to the picks…

13:50 York – BEAUTIFUL DIAMOND (Farringdon)

Powered clear to win on debut at Nottingham (5f, good to firm) in June and highly creditable third in the Group 2 Queen Mary (5f, good) a fortnight later; behind Relief Rally in that Royal Ascot race but is open to further improvement for a trainer who has won two of the last four runnings.

14:25 York – ZIGGY’S CONDOR (Cambridge Evening News)

11-2 when coming home 3l to the good at Pontefract (6f, good to soft) five weeks ago, scoring comfortably after travelling strongly throughout; the messages are mixed as to the strength of that form but he posted a smart RPR for a newcomer; light on experience but Mums Tipple won this four years ago on the back of a solitary start; respected.

15:00 York – NORTHERN EXPRESS (Liverpool Echo)

5yo who has been in the form of his life this term, with wins at Thirsk (1m, soft) and here (7f, good), and he was a close fourth of 25 in the International at Ascot (7f, good) latest; has won here three times (including on fast ground) and can be bang there once more.

17:20 York – NAOMI LAPAGLIA (Racing Post)

Led home five subsequent winners on 1m AW debut as 2yo; out of depth in 1,000 Guineas on return and just a air fifth back in a novice after (first-time hood, retained); back on track when winning a 7f handicap at Newmarket in July (good to soft) and has potential for more up just 3lb.
