NAP of the Day: Theatre Glory to show her class at Ascot
The drier it’s getting, the more I fancy Theatre Glory for the Ascot Hurdle on Saturday. Nicky Henderson’s six-year-old is a classy mare who appreciates nice ground, so I’m delighted to see it’s currently Good to Soft, Good in places

NAP of the Day: 11/2 shot can capitalise on lower hurdles mark
We’re crossing the Irish Sea for Thursday’s NAP, as I chance a relatively highly-rated chaser capitalising on a significantly lower hurdles mark. On his form between August 2021-September 2022, I’d be going nowhere near The Banger Doyle for this 80-109

NAP of the Day: Improving handicapper to go in again
Thursday’s NAP is a Gordon Elliott-trained hurdler who’s backed to take another step on what I fancy will be a steep journey up the handicap ranks. Immediately after Hunting Brook went in at Down Royal on Saturday, I took to
NAP of the Day: Royally-bred colt to open his account at Kempton
The not-so-great British weather has put paid to both National Hunt cards on Wednesday, so it’s a rare November visit to the flat – Kempton, specifically – for my NAP of the Day. I’m expecting a much-improved performance from Kevin
