NAP of the Day: Poetry in motion at Chepstow on Saturday?

It's been a fine week for NAP of the Day followers and I'm hoping for one more success story on Saturday - Betfred Derby day.

Click here for my view on the big race - or stay tuned for my idea of the best bet across all eight meetings.

One of my go-tos on the day of a big event, the Betfred Derby for instance, is singling out a top jockey at one of the 'quieter' meetings.

The in-form Cieren Fallon, who's operating at a 27% strike rate in the past fortnight, is the chosen one at Chepstow on Saturday.

He rides POETRY OF TIME for William Haggas in a 0-80 handicap over seven furlongs and the pair ought to be hard to beat.

The three-year-old son of Ulysses, representing the 'Double Green' of Simon Munir & Isaac Souede, showed ability at two, despite going winless in four starts.

He was competitive against the likes of Stoneacre Donny (rated 81), Golden Knight (87) and Fort Rock (90), though, fully earning his mark in the high 70s.

Horse Racing Odds

After a winter's break of over 170 days, during which he was gelded, Poetry Of Time won a novice event at Salisbury, beating the Ralph Beckett-trained Seven Sisters by almost a length.

Fortunate? Perhaps, but Fallon didn't even use his whip and the runner-up - a 475k guineas half-sister to Barney Roy and Noble Dynasty - went very close to beating the 85-rated King Of Earth at Wolverhampton next time out, so it's good form nonetheless.

For added measure, the third-placed Dream Camp, who finished exactly two lengths adrift of the selection, subsequently bolted up at Southwell to earn an opening mark of 82.

On that evidence, a rise of just one pound is very much on the lenient side ahead of Poetry Of Time's debut in a handicap - and a winnable one at that.

There's no Beckett, Andrew Balding, Ed Walker and Richard Hannon in opposition this time. Instead, it's the likes of Scott Dixon, Rod Millman and Oliver Cole.

No discredit to those trainers or their horses, but Poetry Of Time ought to be very hard to beat in South Wales.
