ITV Racing Tips

A NAP is a tipster's single strongest selection of the day — the one horse the racing team is most confident about across all of the day's cards. We publish one NAP per race day and it sits at the top of our main horse racing tips page. Every racing selection we publish is win-only.

ITV Racing selections are published daily by 4am UK time, ahead of the first televised race. Each pick shows the market, the price available with a UK-licensed bookmaker at publication and the reasoning behind the call. Prices move quickly on televised races, so always confirm the current price with your bookmaker.

ITV and ITV4 show a rotating selection of the biggest UK and Irish meetings — typically the feature handicaps and Grade 1/Group races from cards such as Ascot, Cheltenham, Aintree, York, Newmarket and Leopardstown, plus every day of the major festivals. Our page covers the televised races on the day's card.

Yes. Every ITV Racing selection on this page is free to view with no signup or subscription. The page is funded through commercial partnerships with UK Gambling Commission licensed bookmakers when readers choose to claim a welcome offer.

On days without a televised card, this page shows an evergreen guide to how we rate the ITV races plus a note that selections return on the next broadcast race day. You can still find that day's full racing card on our horse racing tips page.
