Horse Racing Tips: The eye-catching selections on Easter Sunday
Happy Easter! For many it's a day of rest but not for those involved in racing, with action coming thicker and faster than the chocolate eggs from a total of seven tracks across Great Britain and Ireland. We've taken a look through the experts' selections for the day and have highlighted a couple we think are worth a closer look...
You don't often see one horse so popular in the Naps competition as the first runner we focus on here. The chosen runner will be ridden by Ryan Moore and is trained by Nicky Henderson, AHORSEWITHNONAME. She was last seen running a storming race at the Cheltenham Festival, eventually finishing second in the Mares Novices' Hurdle behind Love Envoi. That run was full of promise for the future for this talented mare and now she is back on the level after 522 days and her obvious success over jumps she is expected to take all the beating in this staying flat contest at Newbury.
The most profitable Naps entrant who has chosen Ahorsewithnoname as his best bet is Matt Polley of the Ipswich star, who sits in fourth on the overall leaderboard. In total six entrants have selected her as their best bet. It is always a risk when one so talented switches disciplines but Henderson is a master at getting his jumpers to perform over marathon trips on the flat and with Ryan Moore booked to take the ride it is clear connections fancy their chances of picking up some valuable prize money in this handicap and with this favourite carrying one of the lighter weights in the field then it is clear to see why she has been so popular in the Naps leaderboard despite a raft of competition due to the sheer volume of races on today.

The biggest priced selection on the Naps leaderboard is currently available to back at a massive 33/1 and is TOP BEAK. The nine year old gelding is set to run in the 17:45 at Plumpton and his recent form figures would not inspire anyone to part with their hard earned cash. On his last three starts he has pulled up each time at big odds. It is surely not his recent performances that have led a contestant to side with him, however, as it will undoubtedly be the strong form he showed around this time last season when racking up a sequence of three wins from five starts between March and June of 2021.
Clearly a horse who enjoys when the ground gets a little firmer and the sun starts to shine. Steve Mullington in second place on the leaderboard currently will fly to the top of the table and establish a healthy advantage over current leader Farringdon even if his 14/1 poke at Southwell gets home in front if Top Beak is to be successful and find the form he showed this time last campaign.
