Nap of the day: best horse racing tips for the day's four meetings

Wednesday's best bets from the Racing Post's unbeatable Spotlights team

Bangor-on-Dee

12.30: Yggdrasil

He needs to show fences a bit more respect than he did the Newton Abbot hurdles on his recent return, but otherwise YGGDRASIL (nap) is a very intriguing proposition, contesting the same race his subsequently smart half-brother (of very similar ability as a hurdler) landed for Nick Williams as a four-year-old back in 2017. Happy News (3-4 in handicap chases over 2m4f) and dual Southwell scorer Do It For Thy Sen, both in career-best form when last seen, round off the shortlist.

Exeter

2.40: Coconut Splash

The opposition to COCONUT SPLASH (nap) includes three promising chasing debutants but they may have to improve markedly for fences to beat him. Evan Williams' six-year-old had some strong form to his name last season and can take this before going on to better things. With the Colin Tizzard stable showing more positive signs, Striking A Pose may prove the main danger.
Richard O'Brien

Kempton

8.00: First Charge

Those at the head of the weights make most appeal. September Power and Yagood are not taken on lightly but FIRST CHARGE (nap) has thrived since being upped to 2m and he can complete a quick hat-trick.
Paul Smith

Dundalk

5.20: Cursory Exam

An open-looking handicap to round off the card. CURSORY EXAM (nap) took advantage of a reduced mark to win over course-and-distance last month and holds strong claims of a follow-up here off a 4lb higher mark and from a good draw. Light Fury is another drawn low and won't need to improve too much in first-time cheekpieces to play a major role, while one at a longer price who could go well is Rock Ya Boy Ya.
