Nellie Leylax³⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-9| J: Pierre-Louis Jamin| T: Tom Dascombe| OR: 89| CD

9/4

Calyx colt who is clearly very effective with give underfoot, gaining his third victory from 5 starts when landing 7-runner Haydock nursery (7f, heavy) early last month. Very much ging the right way and any further easing of the ground will likely aid his cause. Respected.

Form: 15411

The Camden Colt⁵⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: S M Levey| T: R Hannon| OR: 87

25/1

Displayed fairly useful form when off the mark at second attempt in a Haydock maiden (6f) in May and back to that level when third in class 2 minor event at Pontefract (6f) in July. Never figured in Super Sprint later that month but switch to handicaps more suitable now stepping up to 7f.

Form: 317030

Mafnood³⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: Jim Crowley| T: R Hannon| OR: 84

3/1

Fair form when reaching the frame in novice events at Newbury/Salisbury and took his form up a notch to open his account at Haydock (1m) 5 weeks ago, impressing with how he travelled. That form has substance and he's high on the shortlist making nursery debut.

Form: 431

Spanish Blaze¹²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: T E Whelan| T: M P Tregoning| OR: 82| D

3/1

Hasn't looked entirely straightforward but he clearly possesses plenty of ability, taking his record to 2-4 when landing 7f Sandown nursery 12 days ago, impressing in how he picked up to score convincingly. Good chance he's capable of even better still.

Form: 0131

(2)

Politico¹²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Oisin Murphy| T: C Johnston| OR: 82| D

17/2

Chester maiden winner (6f) who struggled from marks in the 80's in nurseries but well served by return to forcing tactics when making all back at that venue (7f) 12 days ago. May well just lack the potential of one or two back in handicap company now.

Form: 310551

(4)

Cuban Slide¹⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: C Lee| T: K R Burke| OR: 78

10/1

Wide-margin winner at Musselburgh on debut in May but hasn't kicked on since, midfield in valuable sales race at Newmarket (6f) on his latest outing 3 weeks ago. Steps up in trip for nursery debut with cheekpieces now left off.

Form: 1557

(5)

Double Jump⁵⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 8-8| J: B A Curtis| T: C G Cox| OR: 74

11/1

Dark Angel colt who hasn't gone without promise on 2 of her 3 starts in novice company at up to 7f in recent months, albeit never a threat on qualifying run at Newbury in July. Goes handicapping now with yard in good form but others appeal more on balance.

Form: 659

MAFNOOD impressed with the way he travelled and showed improved form in the process when making his third start a winning one at Haydock (1m) 5 weeks ago. It was an effort backed up by the clock, and this drop back in trip will hold no fears, so he holds sound claims on nursery bow. Spanish Blaze impressed with his finishing effort when successful at Sandown at the start of the month and is feared, along with another going the right way, Nellie Leylax
