Racing Staff Week Fillies' Handicap

Mostar Dreams¹³⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 10-2| J: Mikey Sheehy| T: A Keatley| OR: 84| CD

15/2

Dual turf scorer for Jim Goldie during 2025 (including here) who opened her account for present yard at Newcastle (1m) in January. Produced a below-par showing back at that venue a month later though, and she may be vulnerable to less exposed sorts back from a break.

Form: 3003-19

Donna Nook^t,v²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: D Tudhope| T: D O'Meara| OR: 73| D

11/2

4-y-o filly who posted her best effort of the season equipped with a first-time tongue strap when ending a losing run at Ripon (1m) 3 weeks ago, getting on top final 100 yds. Nudged up 3 lb on the back of that but she isn't an obvious follow-up candidate.

Form: 332941

Rogue Attraction^p1²³⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: K Stott| T: E Bethell| OR: 82

9/1

Confirmed debut promise when readily landing 5-runner Catterick maiden (6f) in August. Down the field in Group 3/listed contests next 2 starts but switch to handicaps rates a plus now returning to action and one to note in the betting equipped with first-time cheekpieces.

Form: 2100-

Shushu¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Ray Dawson| T: R Varian| OR: 79| D

11/4

Night Of Thunder filly who confirmed promise of her Haydock debut second when going one place better in 11-runner Yarmouth maiden (7f) 2 weeks ago, allowed the run of things but always holding on. Better to come now handicapping.

Form: 21

Nanoscience²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: P J McDonald| T: A M Balding| OR: 76| D

13/8

Progressive type who landed a Kempton maiden (7f) in April and having finished third behind a subsequent scorer at Newmarket next time, she resumed winning ways taking on all-aged company at Wetherby (7f, firm) 3 weeks ago. Clearly boasts a good attitude and big shout nudged up 1 lb.

Form: 453-131

(5)

Who Wants Me^t³⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 8-11| J: A Mullen| T: I Jardine| OR: 63

11/1

Maiden who had undergone a breathing operation ahead of return and whilst not beaten far, her starting/way she went about things hardly gave cause for optimism when sixth at Hamilton (6f) 6 weeks ago (hung badly right). Others preferred.

Form: 03304-6

Forecasts

Nanoscience (13/8), Shushu (11/4), Donna Nook (11/2), Mostar Dreams (15/2), Rogue Attraction (9/1), Who Wants Me (11/1)

NANOSCIENCE showed a good attitude when making it 2 wins from her last 3 starts at Wetherby 3 weeks ago, finding extra when challenged inside the final 1f. Nudged up just 1 lb on the back of that, Andrew Balding's filly makes a good deal of appeal again. Yarmouth maiden scorer Shushu can do better again in handicaps and she's an obvious threat, ahead of Donna Nook.
