Most Napped Horses Today
Harry Derham's Joker De Mai was an impressive 11-length winner for jockey/owner David Maxwell at Lingfield last week and the pair will team up again with the four-year-old on Friday to try and claim back-to-back wins. The youngster heads to Exeter's 14:25 race today and is a short-priced favourite to defy a penalty and the progressive performer has proven extremely popular with our racing tipsters as six of them have napped the Derham charge for today's event. Staying at Exeter, Venetia Williams and Charlie Deutsch team up with Enjoy Your Life in the 14:55 race and that contender is another to prove popular with our tipsters as three of them have napped the 7/4 chance. There are two popular horses running at Southwell in their late afternoon/early evening fixture and the two in question are Clearpoint, who has been napped by four tipsters for the 16:10 race, while Billyjoh has been napped by three tipsters for the 15:38 contest.
Horseracing.net says: "Hugely impressive when bounding to an 11-length win at Lingfield, Joker De Mai shaped like he was miles clear of the handicapper, so today's 7lbs penalty may not be enough to stop him landing back-to-back wins and he looks tough to beat in the 14:25 at Exeter."

Follow The Leaders
Chris Honour's Mayhem Mya was a solid handicap hurdler, but the six-year-old mare has been seen over fences the last two times and she put in her display over the larger obstacles last time out when finishing second at Exeter and she is well fancied to go one better this afternoon in the 13:55 race at the West Country track. The nap of current naps table leader The Punt, Mayhem Mya should continue her improvement over fences and today's task looks a winnable one and she can duly land a first win. Brian Flanagan from the Irish Daily Star also heads to Exeter for his best bet of the day and the second placed tipster has napped Imperial Bede in the 14:25 race, while third placed tipster The Irish Sun also heads to the Devon track and has napped Townhill in the 13:25 race.
