Gary O'Brien was delighted to win the Ladbrokes 2015 Nap Table, his first victory in the competition.

The At The Races presenter was in front since late summer and finished over 10 points clear of runner-up Cathal Gahan, with Ron McKnight a clear third.

"I'm thrilled to have won it," beamed the winner, revealing that he was never tempted to 'play safe' after learning a tough lesson in a previous competition. "I was in a great position in the table a few years ago but I made a bad 50-50 call one weekend, and it all went to pieces after that."

Pilgrim Way, a 12/1 winner at Navan in September, put Gary clear of the field and he never looked like being caught. "That was a horse who had caught my eye on a couple of occasions, particularly in Tipperary one day. I try to watch every Irish race and my nap is usually a horse with that kind of profile, one that hopefully isn't going to shorten too much in the betting."

Gary has a share in a few high-profile horses but says he always steers clear of their races when making selections. "We're looking forward to Vics Canvas running in the Welsh National next Saturday. Bayan is sadly injured but Ibsen, the other horse I am involved in, should be back in the spring if all goes well."

Two new names gunning for Gary's title in 2016 are Tommy Lyons of the Irish Examiner and Gary Carson from the Press Association.
