Meelaf³⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-9| J: S H James| T: K R Burke| OR: 87

18/1

Winner at Musselburgh in May. 6¾ lengths sixth of 8 to Argentine Tango in listed race at this C&D (good to firm, 16/1) 37 days ago. Needs to raise her game a touch now switched to a nursery.

Form: 61246

Sayidah Hard Spun²²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-8| J: Billy Loughnane| T: R Hughes| OR: 86| D

3/1

Lightly-raced winner. 2 wins from 4 runs this year. 5/1, career best when winning 4-runner nursery at Ascot (6f, firm) 22 days ago. 3 lb rise fair enough and she's a major player.

Form: 4161

Ruby's Angel¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Harry Davies| T: H Palmer| OR: 78| BF

9/4

Thrice-raced maiden. Third of 10 in novice (6/4) at Haydock (6f, good) 15 days ago. Should pick up a race at some point, but improvement will certainly be needed if she's to make a winning nursery debut.

Awaafi¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 8-13| J: Shane Gray| T: R A Fahey| OR: 77

11/4

Twice-raced winner. Successful at Hamilton in June. Second of 10 in novice at Haydock (6f, good, 2/1) 15 days ago, needing stiffer test. Open to improvement now venturing down the nursery debut.

Form: 12

Azleet²⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: Marco Ghiani| T: S C Williams| OR: 76| D

10/3

Thrice-raced winner. 4/1, won 11-runner maiden at Southwell (6.1f) 20 days ago. Mark for this nursery debut looks fair and she needs considering.

Forecasts

Ruby's Angel (9/4), Awaafi (11/4), Sayidah Hard Spun (3/1), Azleet (10/3), Meelaf (18/1)

AWAAFI made a winning start to her career at Hamilton and subsequently lost little caste in defeat when runner-up in a Haydock novice. Her best days are surely still ahead of her and she gets the nod ahead of Ascot winner Sayidah Hard Spun and Azleet.
