Horse Racing Tips: The best picks from across Sunday's five race meetings

Most Tipped Horses

Paul Nicholls may have had a quiet Cheltenham but he saddles the most popular horse of the day on Sunday in the shape of Thyme White in the Garth Hunt Pony Club Novices' Handicap Chase at Ascot (14:10). The six year old is top weight but won comfortably last time out at Doncaster and the 8lb rise may not prevent a follow-up. The market and tipsters suggest he's one to back today, best price 4/6 with Bet Victor and Boyles, the novice has attracted the attention of 11 tipsters, the most tipped up horse on the website with all the big daily newspapers' tipsters putting him up plus Racing Post Spotlight and Jason Heavey of the Star makes him his nap of the day.

Another who has attracted plenty of tips today but at a bigger price is in the 1pm at Ascot, the Conditional Jockeys' Handicap Hurdle where Gary Moore's Fifty Ball has eight tips on Horseracing.net plus its been napped up by the Daily Express.

Second last time off the same mark he's up against favourite Sizable Sam trained by Jeremy Scott who was a winner last time out and top weight Saint Sonnet for Paul Nicholls.

The seven year old is another Spotlight selection this afternoon and the horse remains well handicapped on some of last year's form and at 15/8 with Hills looks a competitive price.

Most Napped Horses

Up at Doncaster the most napped horse of the day comes in the shape of Bergerac, who is best price 32/5 (around 6/1 elsewhere) with SBK in the SBK Betting Podcast Handicap run over six furlongs at 4.20pm.

Amassing seven tips in the race the four year old trained by Kevin Ryan is clearly well fancied with Robin Goodfellow of the Mail, Racing Post's North, Templegate of the Sun and the Sun On Sunday all napping up the horse who finished third at Southwell last week.

Another horse who has been napped four times today and is also our Spotlight tip of the day comes in the shape of 11/4 chance Vera Verto for trainer Gavin Cromwell in the Juvenile Handicap Hurdle at Ascot (14:45).

Favourite for the race at the time of writing, this Irish raider won a maiden last time out and her previous fifth at Punchestown could not be working out any better in the form books.

Race of the Day

The Grade 3 Hugh McMahaon Memorial Novice Chase at Limerick (15:26) looks a really competitive renewal with two horses at the head of the betting Egality Mans trained by Willie Mullins at11/8 (9/5 win only with SBK) and 6/4 chance Lifetime Ambition trained by Jessica Harrington.

Postdata and the Irish Sun side with the Mullins eight year old who is largely unexposed and could still have more to come.

Nap Table Leader

The Horseracing.net Naps Table leader Steve Mullington of 888Sport drew a blank in the Lincoln yesterday, which was won by 28/1 shot Johan tipped up by Race Olly on the website.

He returns on Sunday with a P&L of £42.07 and putting up Coniston Clouds (5/4) as his nap of the day in the 5.15pm at Carlisle.

Meanwhile, long term table topper Farringdon of the Morning Star is still only a couple of pounds off top spot and he's taking Miss Milano at Carlisle which would put him back top of the table with a win.

Good luck if you're having a bet on Sunday and please gamble responsibly.
