Latest Horse Racing Tips, Previews and Free Bet Offers

What We Tip Every Day

NAP of the Day — Our strongest selection of the day. The NAP is chosen for its form, the fitness of the horse heading into the race, the suitability of the conditions, and its price relative to the market. It is the one bet our tipster would put their name to above all others on the card.

Each-Way Tip — A value selection at bigger odds, chosen for its place prospects in a competitive field. Each-way tips are most useful in handicaps and novice races where fields are large and even the best-fancied horses are not certainties. A horse at 8/1 finishing second in a 16-runner handicap returns a profit each-way even without winning.

Lucky 15 Tips — Four selections combined into a Lucky 15, covering all 15 possible bets from four horses: four singles, six doubles, four trebles and a four-fold accumulator. The Lucky 15 is the most popular multiple bet in UK horse racing because even one winner returns something. Betfred pay treble the odds if only one of your four selections wins — making them the recommended bookmaker for Lucky 15 bets.

ITV Racing Tips — On days with ITV Racing coverage, we publish a full preview of every televised race with a selection for each. ITV Racing covers the Saturday card at the featured meeting throughout the season, plus full Festival coverage at Cheltenham, Aintree, Royal Ascot, Goodwood and the big flat and National Hunt meetings. Our ITV Racing preview is published on Friday evening ahead of the weekend card.

Cheltenham Festival 2026 – 10th-13th March

The Cheltenham Festival is the biggest four days in the National Hunt calendar and the meeting our tipsters focus on most heavily throughout the winter. We cover every one of the 28 races across Champion Day, Ladies Day, St Patrick’s Thursday and Gold Cup Day with ante-post previews, race trends and day-of-racing selections.

Our Cheltenham Festival hub is the starting point, with links to individual day pages and race-specific previews. For sign-up offers and free bets specifically for the Festival, see our Cheltenham free bets guide.

Horse Racing Tips FAQs

What horse racing tips do you publish every day?

We publish a NAP of the day (our strongest single selection), an each-way value tip, and four selections for a Lucky 15 every day that racing takes place in the UK and Ireland. ITV Racing previews are published on Friday evenings ahead of the weekend card.

What is a NAP in horse racing?

A NAP is the tipster’s best bet of the day — the one selection they have the most confidence in based on form, conditions and market position. The term comes from the card game Napoleon. Our NAP is updated each morning and adjusted for ground changes and late declarations.

What is a Lucky 15 bet?

A Lucky 15 covers all 15 bets from four selections — four singles, six doubles, four trebles and a four-fold accumulator. It is the most popular multiple bet in UK horse racing because a single winner returns something. Betfred are the recommended bookmaker for Lucky 15 bets due to their one-winner bonus, which pays treble the odds if only one of your four selections wins. See our full Lucky 15 tips page.

When are your ITV Racing tips published?
