Today's Racing Tips: Monday 18th August Expert Picks Across The Cards

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.
