Racing Tips Today - 23rd April 2026

Thursday’s card has a bit of everything, with Beverley, Perth and Warwick supplying the daytime action before Southwell and Dundalk take over into the evening. There is Flat racing on turf, a strong jumps card in Scotland and all-weather fare later on, so it is the sort of day where the NAPs table can give punters a handy early steer. We’ve picked out the current top three in the standings, rounded up the headline newspaper selections and pulled together the main racing stories shaping the day.

Today’s NAPs Table – Top 3

The latest standings throw up three clear table leaders for Thursday, and they come from Southwell, Perth and Beverley. The current number one is a short-priced Southwell fancy, while the next two in line bring a bit more juice on the prices front at Perth and Beverley. If you want a quick starting point before building your bets for the afternoon and evening cards, these are the three names setting the standard today.

Templegate & Other Big Name NAPs

Away from the main leaderboard, the well-known newspaper names are spread across Beverley and Perth on Thursday. Templegate heads north for his best bet of the day, Newsboy sides with a Beverley runner in one of the more competitive handicaps on the card, and Robin Goodfellow also looks to Perth for his headline selection. As ever, these are the names plenty of punters like to check before the action gets fully under way.

• Templegate – Slanagaibhgoleir (Perth 3:10)
• Robin Goodfellow – Lady In The Park (Perth 5:15)
• Newsboy – Tees Aggregates (Beverley 2:52)
