Worcester Racecourse Supporting Racing Staff Week Mares' Standard Open NH Flat Race

Won a bumper at Stratford last time and did that fairly convincingly but no doubt she'll need more in what looks like a deeper contest and a conditional jockey takes over from Richard Johnson in the saddle; probably best watched carrying a penalty.

Midnight Legend mare who makes limited appeal on pedigree and failed to finish on three starts in point-to-points.

Beneficial mare, half-sister to winners Mrs Robin and Mrs Jordan and dam was a point-to-point winner. Justified favouritism on her second point-to-point in May but couldn't back that up last time when possibly unsuited by the softer conditions. Yard have a good record in this sphere, particularly over the last 12 months and she makes plenty of appeal on rules debut.

Josr Algarhoud mare whose dam was a hurdle winner out of a winning sister to Group 1 winner Capricciosa. Yard have a low strike-rate in bumpers but booking of this jockey is a positive and any market support should probably be noted.

Fair Mix filly with more of a Flat pedigree than jumps. Tailed off at Uttoxeter on debut and yard yet to have a bumper winner; looks up against it.

Mahler filly, half-sister to hurdle winner Millen Dollar Man and dual bumper winner Nicely Indeed. Dam a half-sister to Shekels from family of top chaser Fifty Dollars More. Yard have a fine strike-rate of 20.45% in bumpers (9-44) so has to be of interest in a weak looking event.

Midnight Legend filly, half-sister to bumper winner Ilovemints. Dam a half-sister to useful winner Kerada. No surprise to see the hood reached for after she was too keen to do herself justice on debut at Southwell last month and yard are zero wins from 20 runners in this sphere.

Half-sister to the useful Tara Road, who won a bumper at the second time of asking, so bred to be useful. Yard get winners in this sphere and jockey booking suggests a good run may be in order, so has to be on the shortlist.

Shirocco filly, bought for £10,000 as a yearling and a half-sister to Ballykan. Has struggled to get involved on each of her three starts to date but best effort came on better ground on second start so forecast conditions look in her favour at least. Still hard to fancy though and may do better over further given time.

Shantou filly, cost £1,500 as a three-year-old. Got the hang of things late in the day on her debut and entitled to come on plenty for that run but might want further than this sort of trip given time and still has a bit to do on form.
