Today's Racing Tips: Monday 18th August Expert Picks Across The Cards
/There are four meetings on the cards today with afternoon action from Catterick and Stratford, followed by evening racing at Windsor and Ayr. Ground conditions are set fair across the board, so expect fewer NRs than we can see when the ground is tricky.
Before looking at the meetings in detail, here’s how the NAPs Table shapes up, with the leading three tipsters and their best bets for Monday.

Today’s NAPs Leaders
Chris Connolly still leads the NAPs table, but since last week when this column was last published we have a new expert who has rocketed up to second place. Marlborough of the Daily Telegraph has been in good form in the competition and although his best bet winning today, barring a huge drift, would not see him take op spot from the Norwich Evening News man, another win for Another Baar would edge him closer.
| Tipster | NAP | Race | ODDS | Profit |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Norwich Evening News (Chris Connolly) | Super Hit | 19:45 Ayr | 6/1 | +£39.38 |
| Daily Telegraph (Marlborough) | Another Baar | 16:15 Catterick | 5/1 | +£21.66 |
| The Sun (Templegate) | Jet Patrol | 16:27 Stratford | 9/2 | +£15.71 |
