Racing Staff Week Fillies' Handicap

Prior form before that nightmare outing at Newcastle is genuinely decent — Mostar Dreams has won and shown ability at her best across a wide trip range including today's going. Returning from a break and needing to settle after pulling hard last time; if she does, she could be a real danger.

Taking to a new headgear combination at Ripon last time, Donna Nook took a tight handicap in a driving finish off a 3lb lower mark — effective from 8-10f on a sound surface. Now 3lb higher but showed enough to suggest she has the class to meet that rise.

Away 236 days and in need of a significant return to form having been well beaten in a Listed event last time on unsuitable ground — Rogue Attraction is effective at 6f and gets first-time cheekpieces. Ranked fifth of six, there is ability here but everything needs to click.

Getting off the mark at Yarmouth last time in a clear-cut manner — taking a step forward and showing the right attitude — Shushu now tries handicap company for the first time on today's going; effective at 7f on soft and good to soft. Strong handler and further improvement from this mark looks achievable.

Two wins from five recent starts, including a narrow but decisive handicap success at Wetherby last time off a 1lb lower mark — Nanoscience showed a willing attitude and acts over today's distance on a sound surface. Our top-rated runner here by a clear margin, she is progressive and more can be expected.
