NAP of the Day: Take the odds about this promising Frankel colt

It's been a great month so far for regular readers of my NAP of the Day column, courtesy of six winners - at 5/4, 7/4, 15/8, 2/1, 7/2 and 7/2 - from 10 selections.

Here's to improving that record even further on Wednesday as we return to Yarmouth for another exciting juvenile taken to get off the mark at the second attempt.

On Tuesday it was a Godolphin-owned Kodiac colt trained by Saaeed bin Suroor, and on Wednesday it's a son of Frankel for Juddmonte and Sir Michael Stoute who's tipped to impress at Yarmouth.

NIGHTWALKER is a half-brother to dual Group 1-winning mare Whitebeam, trained by Chad C Brown across the pond, who made a highly-promising start to his career when third in a novice event at Leicester just over a month ago.

Despite doing plenty wrong - breaking slowly, running green and hanging badly right - he was only beaten 2¾ lengths by Ralph Beckett's Matauri Bay and just over a length by Shah for George Boughey.

The former subsequently finished runner-up to the Gosden's exciting Field Of Gold in the G3 Solario Stakes at Sandown, while the latter did likewise in a couple of Class 2 events at York.

That's already pretty strong form the selection boasts, and there's no doubt in my mind he can take a significant step forward on Wednesday, especially with the peerless Ryan Moore taking the reins.

I'm pretty confident in suggesting there's nothing of Matauri Bay's calibre in this seven-furlong maiden. Nothing close, in fact.

Ultrasoul is the main danger according to the 15:00 Yarmouth Odds, but he failed to build on an eye-catching debut when taking in a competitive maiden at York's Ebor Festival. He was over five lengths behind the aforementioned Shah on the Knavesmire, which reads very well for the NAP if taken literally.

Watch how the market talks for the unraced Balticum and Althaneyah for Harry Charlton and Harry Eustace respectively, but if Nightwalker improves like I expect that's a high standard for those to reach first time out, which rates an unlikely scenario in my book.

Sir Michael Stoute's string are going great guns at present and I'm hopeful this can be another winner for the great trainer who plans to retire from the game in a couple of months.
