Performance breakdown
Number of bets not published; no level-stakes p/l or roi published.
| Published record | |
|---|---|
| Settled bets / selections | Unknown |
| Profit / loss | +12.00 points (£1 level stakes) |
| Level stakes | Yes |
| ROI | Unknown |
| Odds basis | Not stated on the naps table |
| Period | Current naps-table season to 29 Oct 2026 (start date not shown) |
| Basis of record | Independently recorded (Racing Post naps table) |
| Notes | The naps table does not show the number of naps, so ROI cannot be calculated. Every total on the table was much lower on 24 Oct than on 17 Oct, so it appears to have restarted for a new season (start date not shown); this tipster's nap was -33.45 pts on 17 Oct and +12.00 pts on 29 Oct. |

The range is our own calculation from the published record, not the tipster's figure. Winners are paid at different prices, so the true range is at least this wide. How we calculate it.
50 = break-even. Past results don't predict future returns. How we score Performance.
