Nap of the Day: Tasty Listed treat for Jessie?

Delighted to report that yesterday's nap Call Time bolted up, and at 4/5 the price was around what I'd expected - far better than the opening offers, as the market eventually reacted in the manner we'd clearly hinted at.

So, we go into battle once more on Friday, November 1; a new month, gateway to the weekend, and the small matter of the Breeders' Cup. What a time to be alive, and all that rhubarb. Friday's Nap of the Day comes from Newmarket, and their cracking seven-race card that kicks in at 12:35. The magic for us will hopefully happen in the 13:43. Here we go ... 

13:43 - Kodilicious @ 7/2

Always a treat to follow a winning nap - confidence is high and I've a good feeling about Friday's selection.

Kodilicious contests a fairly deep-looking Listed fillies' contest for two-year-olds at HQ with a great deal going for her. She's a daughter of Kodi Bear, who found this trip of 6f a bit on the short side as a juvenile, out of a Curlin mare - highly appropriate as the Breeders' Cup looms into view, given he won the Classic by a street in 2007.

The stiff contours of Newmarket will suit Jessie Harrington's filly, and the autumn ground, likely to be good, should have just a bit of welcome juice in it. She's run on four occasions, achieving a high level of form the last twice in richly-endowed nurseries in her native Ireland.

She gave stacks of weight away in those handicaps and ran off 95 last time - that puts her right in the thick of the best-treated here, and her Racing Post rating today of 109 gives her a wee bit in hand in my view.

Saffie Osborne is a brilliant and imaginative jockey booking, with so many of the top dogs jetting over to Del Mar, and I'm expecting a late show from the bushes and an irresistible burst to take this in the last 50 yards or so.

A fantastic heat with some rattling good yards represented.

The race honours the great Bosra Sham, nurtured with wonderful care by the peerless Sir Henry Cecil here in Newmarket, and a multiple Group One heroine. Any half as good today will be doing just fine.
