Wednesday's Most Popular Naps and Naps Table Leaders
There is just one horse that has the vote from three or more experts as the best bet of the day, IN EXCELSIS DEO for Harry Fry and Johnny Burke. The horse ran a cracker in the Plate last time out at the Cheltenham Festival and while he is not the most consistent type, if running to that level again he should be one of the biggest chances in here.
West Country is one of the three experts with In Excelsis Deo as his best bet in a smashing race at 14:40 at Cheltenham, with Brian Flanagan in third place taking him on with IL RIDOTO, who will represent Paul Nicholls and have Harry Cobden in the plate. This horse has a great Cheltenham record and while he finished behind In Excelsis Deo last time they met at the Festival, this race is calmer waters and if Cobden gets him into a rhythm off the front end he could be hard to catch.
Sandwiched between the two in second place is On The Nose and they are heading to Newmarket for the Nap in the 17:20, KALPANA Ryan Moore rides for Andrew Balding and while she is making her handicap debut, she has already shown a willing attitude and stepping up in trip should see her once again improve.
- West Country - In Excelsis Deo - 14:40 Cheltenham - P&L: £18.88
- On The Nose - Kalpana - 17:20 Newmarket - P&L: -£0.79
- Brian Flanagan - Il Ridoto - 14:40 Cheltenham - P&L: £-2.46
