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…

14:30 Royal Ascot – Facteur Chevel (Daily Record)

This year’s Queen Anne is loaded with pace and likely to be strongly run, which leaves Lockinge winner Audience looking vulnerable, especially over this stiffer 1m. Big Rock is also among the likely front-runners but his peak rating, achieved in last year’s QEII over C&D, sets an impressive standard. This should set up nicely for Charyn (second choice) who commands major respect on 2024 form, while 2023 Royal Ascot winners Docklands (third choice) and Witch Hunter are interesting at bigger odds. Maljoom, who was desperately unlucky on this card in 2022, also figures in calculations.

However, the selection is FACTEUR CHEVAL who has been a solid performer throughout his career and is evidently still improving judged on his Dubai Turf success. Furthermore, he’s bred to run this course fast, being a son of Ribchester who broke the track record (which still stands) in this race seven years ago.

16:25 Royal Ascot – Notable Speech (The Guardian)

Fast-improving colt, NOTABLE SPEECH, who has a smart turn of foot and remains unbeaten (4-4); unraced at two; justified favouritism in 1m AW contests at Kempton between January and April, then belied a market drift in the 2,000 Guineas at Newmarket (good) where he came off a strong pace to beat Rosallion; form is working out well; top rated, with the potential to go even higher.

17:05 Royal Ascot – Nusret (Daily Express)

Calculations for the Ascot Stakes usually start with Willie Mullins, last year being a rare occasion that one of his representatives failed to make a serious impact, so his unexposed 5yo My Lyka goes straight on the shortlist.

Zanndabad does too, after his fast-finishing third in the Chester Cup, and so does the hat-trick seeking Boher Road, but the most potent Irish challenger may well turn out to be NUSRET, for whom a return to better ground looks ideal and the longer trip could unlock something special. While the British runners clearly have plenty on their hands, Divine Comedy scored so easily at Haydock that she is second on the list, with Pledgeofallegiance and Tenerife Sunshine also bringing potential as well as last-time-out wins.

17:40 Royal Ascot – Israr (The Sun)

Botanical and Torito (second choice) appeal as lightly raced, progressive 4yos who can win at this level but the latter’s stablemate ISRAR has already achieved several RPRs good enough to win this in a normal year, including when second to Passenger (who was prominent in the betting for the Group 1 Prince Of Wales’s before suffering a setback) at Chester last month.

Astro King should also be in the mix, while one worth a mention at much bigger odds is Savvy Victory, whose defeat of Poker Face in a Sandown Listed race over this trip last July is good form.
