Horse racing tips: Sunday, July 27
Sunday's UK and Irish racing Flat Pontefract (1.55-4.55, Racing TV) Jumps Uttoxeter (1.37-5.07, Sky Sports Racing) Ron Wood's selections NAP Point Lynas (2.55, Pontefract) 1pt win @ SP with William Hill ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Other Elegant Erin (4.25, Pontefract) 1pt win @ SP with William Hill ⭐⭐ Odds provided by William Hill and correct at the time of writing. Stars denote strength of selection (max 5). If you already have a William Hill 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. 2.55 Pontefract – Pomfret Stakes (Listed, 1m; Racing TV) POINT LYNAS (NAP) looks like being hard to catch again in this Listed contest, the only worry being that this comes just two weeks after a big front-running effort when second in the Group 2 Summer Mile at Ascot. His only previous start at Pontefract came in this race last year, when Point Lynas won by five and a half lengths. 4.25 Pontefract – Class 4 Handicap (5f; Racing TV) ELEGANT ERIN is a course-and-distance winner who has been holding her form well lately, notably finishing runner-up three times in a row this year. That sequence of seconds was interrupted when she finished only seventh at Newcastle on her latest outing, but that was a Class 2 contest and Paul Midgley's mare still ran creditably in a race that didn't unfold ideally. Selection: Elegant Erin 1pt win @ SP with William Hill When is the next big racing festival? The week-long Galway Festival kicks off in Ireland on Monday, 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 Field Of Gold, possibly the best horse in the world, in the Sussex Stakes on Wednesday, 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 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: Thursday July 24
Thursday's UK and Irish racing Flat Doncaster (1.25-5.30pm, Sky Sports Racing) Sandown (2.10-5.00, Racing TV) Leopardstown (5.25-8.27, Racing TV) Yarmouth (5.40-8.40, Sky Sports Racing & ITV4) Newbury (5.50-8.33, Sky Sports Racing) Jumps Wexford (4.35-8.17, Racing TV) Worcester (1.10-5.17, Sky Sports Racing) Free-to-view racing coverage ITV4 – 5.30-9.00: Live racing from Yarmouth (Racing League) Ron Wood's selections NAP Deep Water Bay (7.33, Newbury) 1pt win @ 7/4 with William Hill ⭐⭐⭐ Other Indigo Dawn (7.02, Newbury) 1pt win @ 9/2 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 7.02 Newbury – Class 4 Nursery Handicap (7f; Sky Sports Racing) INDIGO DAWN looked good when winning a 6f maiden at Goodwood on her debut in May, beating a runner-up who won a maiden by five lengths next time out and holds Group-race entries. The Richard Hannon-trained filly was dismissed as an 80/1 shot and ran accordingly in the Group 3 Albany Stakes over the same trip at Royal Ascot on her second outing. That was asking too much of her and she now steps down significantly in class and up in trip by a furlong. The dam's side of her pedigree suggests the longer trip should be fine for her and if she confirms the promise of her debut she will prove better than her ordinary maiden mark of 78. 7.33 Newbury – Class 5 Handicap (2m; Sky Sports Racing) DEEP WATER BAY still looked a bit raw when unplaced at Haydock last time out but that was a hot Class 2 race and he didn't run badly. He now steps down significantly in grade. Sir Mark Prescott's three-year-old had earlier won handicaps at Wolverhampton and Chelmsford – the latter a Class 5 contest – and that form was franked when the runner-up won next time out. Going off the stamina-loaded dam's side of his pedigree, Deep Water Bay should be suited by this step up from 1m 6f, with cheekpieces added to help him focus. 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 1 contests at the meeting. Does William Buick have any rides today? Buick is in action in Sandown. He has also been booked for the prized ride on Field Of Gold in the Sussex Stakes at Goodwood, owing to the suspension of Juddmonte's retained rider Colin Keane. Where is Ryan Moore riding on Thursday? Moore is back in action this evening at Leopardstown where he has three rides for Aidan O'Brien, two of them coming in Group 3s. 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.
