Racing Tips Today - 19th March 2026

Thursday’s cards come from Ludlow, Sedgefield, Newcastle and Cork, with the jumps action taking centre stage through the afternoon before the Tapeta card at Newcastle takes over this evening. We have picked out the strongest performers in the NAPs table, rounded up the headline selections from the major newspaper tipsters and pulled together the biggest racing talking points as attention starts to shift from Cheltenham towards Aintree.

Today’s NAPs Table Top 3

There is a familiar mix at the top of today’s NAPs standings, with a couple of in-form jumps picks leading the way before the evening action at Newcastle gets underway. The strongest figures on the live table this morning belong to three tipsters who are all siding with runners at Ludlow and Sedgefield, so that pair of afternoon meetings could have a major say in how the leaderboard looks by teatime.

Templegate & Other Big Name NAPs

The newspaper names are split across the cards today, with Templegate heading to Newcastle for his best bet, while Newsboy and Robin Goodfellow both look to the jumps action. That gives punters a useful spread across the day, from the early Sedgefield contest through to the evening finale on the all-weather.

• Templegate: TRUCIAL PEARL (20:30 Newcastle)
• Newsboy: ENJOY D'ALLEN (14:40 Sedgefield)
• Robin Goodfellow: UNCLE PHIL (15:50 Ludlow)
