🎯 FREE Gaelic Warrior - Kempton 2:30pm (Ladbrokes King George VI Chase)
Race: Kempton 2:30pm • Odds 3/1

The King George VI Chase at Kempton (2:30) presents a fascinating puzzle, but Gaelic Warrior stands out as the candidate best equipped to handle the specific demands of this three-mile Grade 1 test. While rivals like Fact To File boast undeniable class, questions persist regarding their suitability for this trip. By contrast, Gaelic Warrior arrives with significant momentum, having won his last three starts, including two Grade 1 contests. Crucially, his stamina credentials appear robust; he holds a perfect record of two wins from two starts at three miles, suggesting that this distance is well within his compass. His performance at Punchestown, where he defeated Fact To File over a shorter trip, serves as a key reference point, and reports indicate he has thrived since stepping up to three miles and one furlong at Aintree. With a rating of 174 and a profile that combines high cruising speed with proven staying power, he looks tailor-made for Kempton’s rhythm. In a field where several main market contenders have significant questions to answer regarding current form or optimal distance, Gaelic Warrior offers the most complete profile, blending confirmed stamina with the class required to prevail in this prestigious and compelling mid-winter contest.

What Is the NAP of the Day?

The NAP is our most confident horse racing selection on today’s card. It’s a single, well-researched bet chosen from all meetings after reviewing form, pace maps, going suitability, draw bias, trainer patterns and market movement. If you want one focused racing tip, start with the NAP.

How We Choose Today’s NAP

Our analysts shortlist candidates from today’s UK meetings, then stress-test each runner against key factors: recent speed figures and sectionals, distance and going profile, running style vs. field pace, trainer/jockey form and any positive class or equipment changes. We only publish when price and probability align—no guesswork, no hype.

What You’ll See on This Page

  • The Selection — horse, race time, course and advised market.
  • Reasoning — clear logic covering form, pace, going and trainer angles.
  • Odds Window — a fair range to play; we note if price shortens beyond value.
  • Staking Guidance — sensible unit advice to manage variance.

When We Publish & Updates

We post the NAP in the morning (UK time) and update if the going changes, a key non-runner appears, or the market moves significantly. If a price collapses below our play zone, we flag it and, where appropriate, suggest an alternative approach.

Bankroll & Staking

Singles dominate our racing approach because they’re easier to price and track. Keep stakes level; avoid chasing later races to recover variance. If each-way is logical—field size, place terms and price—we’ll say so explicitly in the note.
