Horse Racing Tips: Sam fancied for Killarney Grade 3 win for Mullins

We may have seen the back of the National Hunt season, but master Irish handler Willie Mullins is still try to grab some notable summer pots and he will unleash the smart Saint Sam is the Grade 3 BoyleSports An Riocht Chase at Killarney at 18:55 this evening and the Closutton inmate has proven extremely popular with our tipsters.

A red-hot 11/8 favourite for today's event, Saint Sam has been napped by four tipsters - including the likes Mercury of the Daily Post and The Punt from the Racing Post - and the Mullins raider was down the field in the County Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival, but was a winner over fences at Tramore last time out, so has to be respected here, if replicating that run.

The second most popular nap of the day comes at Wolverhampton's all-weather afternoon fixture and it's another short-priced favourite in the shape of Animate, who is an Evens favourite for the 15:40 contest. Simon & Ed Crisford's charge has been napped by three tipsters for today's contest and the three-year-old was last seen failing to land a blow at Haydock Park, but today's event looks much easier and he could well prove to be a cut above.

Postdata from the Racing Post is the form tipster in the naps table having notched up three winning naps on the bounce, and the form tipster is looking for a four-timer at Wolverhampton this afternoon and has napped the 100/30 chance Hopeforthebest in the 16:40 race. The four-year-old was a winner at the track last time out off a mark of 50 and will look to defy a 4lbs rise and notch up back-to-back wins.

The Irish Sun tipster is currently sitting at the head of the naps table with a profit of £23.00 and the high-flying tipster is another that heads to Killarney's quality National Hunt fixture this evening for the nap of the day. Opting to side with the Shark Hanlon-trained Feigh, who is a whopping 33/1 shot for the 18:25 race, The Irish Sun tipster will look to rocket clear at the top of the standings if the Hanlon raider can strike gold today and with winning form at the track the five-year-old mare has to be respected.

Catterick will host some competitive Flat racing this afternoon and Farringdon from the Morning Star, who sits in fifth place with a profit of £12.10 heads to the Yorkshire venue for the bet of the day and has napped Mutanaaseq in the 13:50. Available at the 8/1 mark, at the time of writing, Ruth Carr's eight-year-old has been on a long losing run of 25 races, but has been plummeting down the weights in recent times and suffered trouble in running last time out, so will be looking to improve on a sixth placed finish last time out.

Other eye-catching naps on Monday include Havagomecca, who is the best bet of second placed tipster Tipman Tips, and that 7/2 chance runs in the 15:00 at Musselburgh, while at Windsor's evening Flat card Luke Tucker of the Cambridge Evening News has napped the 5/1 chance Miss Bella Brand in the 19:05 race.
