Horse racing tips: Monday, July 21
Our in-house horse racing expert, Ron Wood, has had four winners from his previous nine tips (not including non-runners), including an 8/1 shot and a 9/2 NAP on Saturday, and is well in profit with his selections for the year. Monday's UK and Irish racing (Flat unless stated) Cartmel (jumps) 1.42-4.50; Racing TV Ayr 2.00-5.15; Racing TV Windsor 5.10-8.40; Sky Sports Racing Ballinrobe 5.30-8.30; Racing TV Beverley 6.20-8.50; Racing TV Ron Wood's selections NAP Forest Caper (4.05, Ayr) 1pt win @ 5/2 with William Hill ⭐⭐ Other Flowstate (2.30, Ayr) 1pt win @ 100/30 with William Hill ⭐⭐ Odds provided by William Hill and correct at the time of writing. Stars denote strength of selection (maximum five). If you already have a William Hill account and are looking for a new bookmaker to use on this week's racing, check out more free bets from the best betting sites, reviewed by our experts 2.30, Ayr – Class 6 Handicap (6f; Racing TV) The David O'Meara-trained FLOWSTATE is 0-6 in handicap company, but when fourth in a Class 5 at Doncaster on his latest outing he was one place behind a runner who then won a Class 4 at Ayr. This pick now drops into a Class 6 for the first time and his maiden victory came on soft ground, so the ease underfoot is in his favour. 4.05, Ayr – Class 5 Handicap (1m; Racing TV) Another O'Meara charge, FOREST CAPER probably has improvement in him and looks a reasonable bet to make a successful handicap debut. This Lope De Vega gelding has run to a fair level in three starts in maiden and novice company, and his breeding suggests that getting on slow ground for the first time could help him. Forest Caper, who like Flowstate will be ridden by Daniel Tudhope, is a half-brother to seven winners, quite a few of them smart types. Where is Ryan Moore riding on Monday? Moore had three Group-race winners at the Curragh over the weekend, but has no booked rides today. And where is William Buick riding today? Buick is booked for three mounts at Windsor this evening, including Port Of London, a newcomer who goes in a maiden (6.40) for the jockey's employers, Godolphin. It will be interesting to see what this Night Of Thunder colt, trained by John and Thady Gosden, can do. When is the next big racing festival? The week-long Galway Festival kicks off in Ireland next Monday (July 28), followed a day later by Glorious Goodwood. Check out the latest Glorious Goodwood free bets and betting offers. The latter is a five-day fixture and is set to feature the Kingman colt Field Of Gold, possibly the best horse in the world, in the Sussex Stakes on July 30, one of three Group 1s at the meeting. What does NAP mean? NAP is a word used in betting circles to describe a prediction that a tipster thinks has a particularly strong chance of winning. Many horse racing tipsters pick out a 'NAP of the day', which is their favoured selection from all the races across the different meetings. The term NAP derives from the French card game Napoleon. When players of this game thought they had a particularly strong hand that they would win with, they would shout 'Napoleon'.

Horse racing tips: Friday July 18
Ron Wood's selections NAP: Sourdough (5.20, Newbury) 1pt win @ 9/4 with Betfred ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Other: Star Of Light (4.45, Newbury) 1pt win @ 7/2 with Betfred ⭐⭐⭐ Odds provided by Betfred and correct at the time of writing. Stars denote strength of selection (max 5). If you already have a Betfred account and are looking for a new bookmaker to use for this week's racing, check out more free bets from the best betting sites, reviewed by our experts. 4.45, Newbury – Fillies' Handicap (Class 3, 1m 5f) STAR OF LIGHT is not straightforward – let's make that clear for starters. However, this John and Thady Gosden-trained filly is probably better than her rating of 82 now that she moves into a handicap for the first time. She was entered in the Group 1 Oaks. Although she has not built on her Wolverhampton debut win last December, not helping herself at times, she found 1m 2f too short in a Goodwood Listed race most recently. Star Of Light is now up in trip, down in class and gets to race against her own sex. She is by Frankel and her dam Star Catcher was a two-time 1m 4f Group 1 winner for the same connections in 2019, notably the Irish Oaks. Check out Betfred promo code July 2025 5.20 Newbury – Class 4 Handicap (1m 4f) There is little doubt that our nap SOURDOUGH is better than his mark of 76. He did not do himself any favours by hanging left when third at Nottingham on his handicap debut, which was his reappearance, when he was a well-backed 11/4 favourite. But he has had 100 days since that April outing for any problems to have been ironed out, and that contest has strong form. The winner, Great David, has gone up 27lb (and runs in a Listed race at Hamilton this evening), while the fourth horse has been raised by 12lb. This Wootton Bassett colt, representing Hughie Morrison, now goes up in trip. He is a half-brother to the same stable's Stay Well, a triple winner over 1m 2f to 1m 4f with a peak official rating of 97. Their dam Sweeping Up reached a mark of 105 for the Berkshire trainer. Selection: Sourdough 1pt win @ 9/4 with Betfred Today's UK and Irish racing (Flat unless stated) Killarney (NH) 1.25-5.25 Haydock 2.05-5.35 Nottingham 2.15-5.05 Newbury 2.25-5.20 Down Royal 5.10-8.30 Newmarket 5.15-8.40 Hamilton 5.30-8.50 Pontefract 6.10-9.00 What does NAP mean? NAP is a word used in betting circles to describe a prediction that a tipster thinks has a particularly strong chance of winning. Many horse racing tipsters pick out a 'NAP of the day', which is their favoured selection from all the races across the different meetings. The term NAP derives from the French card game Napoleon. When players of this game thought they had a particularly strong hand that they would win with, they would shout 'Napoleon'. What is an each-way bet? An each-way bet is a popular type of wager, particularly with horse racing fans. It is essentially two bets, both of which have the same size stake. An each-way bet features one bet on the selection to win and the other bet on the selection to place. So a £10 each-way bet will cost you a total of £20. There will be one £10 bet on the selection to win and another £10 on the selection to place. It's a popular bet because it offers punters the chance of a return, even if the horse in question fails to win. Bookmakers will pay out at a stated percentage of the odds for a place finish, for example one-fifth of the starting price (SP) for finishing in the first three. The more runners there are in a horse race, the more places will be on offer. In races that feature lots of runners, the horses will be available at bigger odds, making an each-way bet a wise choice.

Horse racing tips: Thursday July 17
Ron Wood's selections NAP: Los Toldos (8.30, Leopardstown) 1pt win @ 12/1 with Betfred ⭐⭐⭐ Other: Galen (6.52, Leopardstown) 1pt win @ 9/4 with Betfred ⭐⭐ Odds provided by Betfred and correct at the time of writing. Stars denote strength of selection (max 5). If you already have a Betfred account and are looking for a new bookmaker to use for this week's racing, check out more free bets from the best betting sites, reviewed by our experts. 6.52, Leopardstown – Meld Stakes (Group 3, 1m 1f) GALEN has a 3lb penalty, but has advanced his form to near Group 1 level this year. Yes, he was beaten into second in a Listed race, the Wolferton Stakes, at Royal Ascot most recently, but that was a mighty effort under a 5lb penalty against some smart rivals. Earlier in the campaign JP O'Brien's charge had too much speed for Jan Brueghel, who then won a Group 1, when taking a Curragh Group 3, albeit that rival had extra weight and probably needed the run. Galen is a hardy sort who should give his running. Dylan Browne McMonagle is in the saddle, teaming up with the Gleneagles gelding for a 13th consecutive ride. 8.30, Leopardstown – Handicap (1m 5f) LOS TOLDOS, a 750,000gn yearling, won a 1m 4f novice for Charlie Appleby in Britain last year. He was later let go for a relatively paltry 27,000gn, but may prove well bought. This son of Frankel was well beaten in a 1m 6f Flat race at Gowran in April, but that cannot have been his true running, as he won a maiden hurdle at Cork the next month. That form has worked out really well, with the second, third and fifth all winning since. There seems a fair chance that our nap will prove ahead of his mark. Selection: Los Toldos 1pt win @ 12/1 with Betfred Today's UK and Irish racing (Flat unless stated) Hamilton 1.50-4.55 Leicester 2.00-5.10 Chepstow 2.10-5.20 Leopardstown 4.45-8.30 Killarney (NH) 5.01-8.15 Worcester (NH) 5.05-8.55 Epsom 5.55-8.40 What does NAP mean?

Horse racing tips: Wednesday July 16
Ron Wood's selections NAP: Wheels Of Fire (4.30, Catterick) 1pt win @ 9/4 with Betfred ⭐⭐⭐ Other: Stardancer (8.40, Yarmouth) 1pt win @ 10/3 with Betfred ⭐⭐⭐ Odds provided by Betfred and correct at the time of writing. Stars denote strength of selection (max 5). If you already have a Betfred account and are looking for a new bookmaker to use for this week's racing, check out more free bets from the best betting sites, reviewed by our experts. 4.30, Catterick – Class 4 Handicap (6f) WHEELS OF FIRE still has improvement in him. He was sold for 70,000gn this month, a fair chunk of money for a Class 4 handicapper, but he remains with Richard Hannon. This three-year-old Mehmas colt has been running creditably in defeat in handicaps lately and he is a strong-travelling type who will be well suited by this return to a turning track, particularly a sharp course like Catterick. His sole previous win came at Lingfield, which is also a tight course. Slow ground would be an unknown, but he should move through the race quite easily. Check out Betfred promo code July 2025 8.40, Yarmouth – Class 4 Handicap (7f) The Clive Cox-trained STARDANCER shaped well when third in a Class 4 Doncaster event on his handicap debut. Seeing as this Dark Angel gelding had been off for five months before that outing, and this race comes another six weeks on, he should improve – and if so, he will go well. Selection: Stardancer 1pt win @ 10/3 with Betfred Go to site > Today's UK and Irish racing (Flat unless stated) Bath 2.20-4.53 Catterick 2.30-5.00 Uttoxeter (NH) 2.38-5.10 Killarney 5.20-8.20 Yarmouth 6.10-8.40 Ffos Las 6.30-9.00 What does NAP mean?
