4.45 Beverley – Class 6 Handicap (1m 2f)
QUIRKE ON PAROLE (NAP) has good-looking claims in a moderate race. She has run creditably in defeat on both her handicap starts this year, most recently being beaten by just a head at Wetherby.
Selection: Quirke On Parole @ 4/5 with William Hill

7.45 Newbury – Class 5 Handicap (7f)
ADELAIDE BAY has won three of his last four starts on the all-weather. He now moves up from Class 6 and switches back to turf, but he thrashed a subsequent winner (who had also won his previous race) at Chelmsford last time out and he should be just fine on the grass. His dam was a useful dual winner on turf.

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.
