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…

14:35 Fairyhouse – Jade De Grugy (The Brigadier)

Willie Mullins throws the kitchen sink at this and Paul Townend’s mount JADE DE GRUGY is probably the right one despite a seemingly below-best Cheltenham run. Jetara ran a fine race against geldings at Leopardstown and should be in the mix, Bioluminescence can continue to improve, and several of the less exposed Closutton runners could rise to the occasion, including Cute Des As and Spindlberry.

14:50 Ffos Las – Smart Casual (Racing Post)

Mumbles has made good progress on heavy ground this year and is respected but there might still be more to come from SMART CASUAL, who suffered an unfortunate mishap here last month but was knocking on the door towards the end of last year and is bred to be suited by today’s step up in trip. Mac’s Legacy needs to prove he’s effective on slow ground but the form of his Hereford second in January makes him of interest.

16:05 Cork – Shadow Rider (The Racing Post)

Smaller field than normal but no less competitive. Ashdale Bob is coming down the handicap and could be dangerous with a 7lb claimer on board. Coral Cup seventh Da Capo Glory should go well if this doesn’t come too soon, while Thurles winner Chosen Witness could have a little in hand of the handicapper. The selection is SHADOW RIDER, who may have got away lightly with a 10lb penalty for his Fairyhouse win. He can score again.

16:15 Plumpton Gin Coco (Spotlight)

Inferno Sacree rarely hangs about and others in here like to press on, so a fast seems guaranteed. Past winners Aucunrisque (second choice) and Teddy Blue are musts for the shortlist, as are Rare Middleton and Our Champ, but GIN COCO is interesting. The former Greatwood runner-up (when favourite) looked good at Ascot in November and, given his notable record when fresh and preference for goodish ground, this has probably been the aim for a while.
