No recent run required: Bear To Dream makes triumphant return to turf under Kaiya Fraser
Bear To Dream made light work of a 139-day absence to win for the third time at the track in the 6f handicap.
The five-year-old mare was last seen operating consistently on the all-weather in March, but showed little sign of rustiness to get the better of Milliethemollie under Kaiya Fraser for trainer Michael Attwater.
"I was a bit worried about the ground this morning because I was here yesterday when we had all that rain," Attwater told Sky Sports Racing. "She hadn't run for a while so I was worried about her getting caught out on that tacky ground, but she was obviously fitter than I thought she was.
"She's very straightforward. She does plenty at home and Kaiya's given her a great ride. That's his first winner for us and we've been using him for a bit. He has a real nice way of riding."
It was a second win of the week for Fraser, who struck on One Of Our Own for Rebecca Menzies at Catterick on Tuesday.
Mangan's law
Gina Mangan was seen to excellent effect on enthusiastic front-runner Letter Of The Law in the 1m2f classified stakes.
The five-year-old finished second at the track on Wednesday and went one better this time, with his jockey seizing the initiative early and dictating the pace. The pair had a healthy advantage with two furlongs to race and just found enough to deny 10-11 favourite Time Tested by a length and a quarter.
