Most Napped Horses Today
We are set for a cracking renewal of the Grade 1 Savills Chase at Leopardstown at 14:25 and the two market leaders, reigning Cheltenham Gold Cup hero Galopin Des Champs and emerging star Gerri Colombe have proven the most popular selections from our naps table as three tipsters have napped both charges for today's 3m event. The former was beaten last time out in the John Durkan at Punchestown, so will be eager to bounce back, while Gerri Colombe heads into the race on the back of a fine win in the Ladbrokes Champion Chase at Down Royal and he will be looking to show his Gold Cup credentials here. The most popular nap of the day runs at Newcastle's all-weather fixture at 15:30 and the horse in question is the William Haggas-trained Flindrinkin, who has been napped by six tipsters. Burrows Hall is well fancied for the 15:23 at Catterick and has been napped by four tipsters, while Sue Smith's Blue Bear is another popular selection and has been napped by three tipsters for the 13:40 race at Catterick.
Horseracing.net says: "It's certainly not just between the front two in the betting for the Savills Chase today, but Galopin Des Champs and Gerri Colombe have proven to be top class performers on their day and the latter comes into the contest on the back of a victory at Down Royal and looks to still be improving, so could just edge it."

Follow The Leaders
The Punt from the Racing Post is topping the current naps table with a profit of £28.14 and that tipster heads to Newcastle's late afternoon/early evening fixture for the nap of the day and the high-flying tipster has napped Scottish Summit in the 17:30 race. The ten-year-old veteran will have the burden of top weight in today's event, but he's a course winner and has been dropped 2lbs in the handicap, so is attractively weighted to go close today. Spotlight from the Racing Post is second in the naps table and heads to Catterick's afternoon fixture and has napped God's Own Getaway in the 15:23 race, while The Irish Sun tipster heads to Leopardstown's afternoon National Hunt fixture and has napped Power Hour in the 12:40 race.
