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 an 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…

12:40 Ludlow – School Days Over (Spotlight)

This has an open look to it. SCHOOL DAYS OVER had been in solid form until disappointing on his return to fences at Chepstow and he earns a tentative vote. Of Course You Can was reportedly better for a break when scooting clear here last time, so there have to be some doubts about her after a break of just 29 days this time. Hardy Fella is second choice, though Jocata has to be of interest.

14:00 Southwell -Hot To Dot (The Times)

This looks a competitive nursery in which several hold claims. Qaseem and Del Ray finished runner-up in their latest starts, while Sunshine State is 1-1 on the AW and Caledonian could figure if resuming his progress on nursery/AW debut. However, it’s hard to oppose HOT TO DOT who is 4lb well in after having gone so close at Newcastle nine days ago.

15:27 Newbury – Masaccio (The Times)

The Newbury factor puts MASACCIO, and I’d Like To Know at the head of the list, with the former preferred, followed by High Treason and Twinjets.

17:05 Newcastle – Castan (Daily Express)

Most of these can have a cogent case argued for them and it looks a race in which to tread carefully. Lord Abama, Gustav Graves, Bibendum and Strong Johnson are high on the list but Let’s Go Hugo and CASTAN may be the pair to focus on. The selection has blown hot and cold this year but conditions suit, he is on a dangerous mark and there was encouragement to be gleaned from a recent C&D third.
