Following the horse racing NAP of the Day at SportsLens yielded £25.82 profit to a £1 level stake in March. That’s no April Fools’ Day joke. Today’s best Bet of the Day is Patroclus who runs in the extended 2m 7f novices’ limited handicap chase at Newbury (2:30). He appeals at terrific 3/1 odds.

From the top UK horse racing stable of Nicky Henderson, Patroclus steps up in trip here after an eye-catching third last time out. That form has worked out well, so this six-year-old Shirocco gelding looks well worth a wager. He rates our horse racing NAP of the Day for Friday, 1 April. This is why to back him…
Why will horse racing NAP of the Day Patroclus win?
Henderson has a 22 per cent strike rate at Newbury over the past five seasons. In Patroclus, he has a lightly-raced sort open to plenty of further progress. After landing his second chase outing at Leicester, he was far from disgraced when third at Kempton last time out. The race result from that day reveals him jumping out to his left.
While that meant Patroclus forfeited ground at every fence around the tight, turning right-handed track of Kempton, it’s no problem at Newbury. The anticlockwise course and step up in distance on a more galloping track should suit him. That Kempton form has worked out superbly well too.
The runner-up, Foxboro, came out and won at Sandown. Le Cameleon back in fourth, meanwhile, subsequently scored at Newton Abbot. One True King, the last of six finishers, defied top weight at Market Rasen on his switch back to hurdles last time out. This is why Patroclus is the horse racing NAP of the Day today with 888Sport going a tempting 3/1 overnight.

Hidden Heroics a Great Each Way Bet at Ayr Today
Up at Ayr, meanwhile, Dan Skelton saddles Hidden Heroics in the opening 3m novices’ handicap hurdle (1:45). Given his winning background in an Irish Point, this horse looks overpriced and well worth backing each way. A five-year-old son of Coastal Path, Hidden Heroics is clearly held in high regard by connections.
Skelton declared him to run in the Grade 2 Persian War at Chepstow but withdrew him on account of the going. Hidden Heroics has since proven ground with good in the description is no problem. He simply found the trip at Wetherby and Ascot too sharp on his first couple of hurdles outings.
It was no surprise when stepped up to an extended 2m 4f at Newcastle when last in action that horse racing betting sites sent Hidden Heroics off as their 7/4 favourite. Now making his handicap bow off 115, he could be very well treated. Odds of 11/1 are generous for a horse from a yard with a 26 per cent strike rate at Ayr over the last five seasons.
