Form & Verdict
Plenty of chances for Karl Burke and not much was expected for her new yard at Redcar last Monday, but she popped up at 66-1, coming right away with Wee Mary; recent rain maybe wasn't ideal and she needs to back that up on 6lb worse terms.

She should be making a big impact off this mark but she hasn't been at her best on her last two starts; others look safer.

Won twice in May 2025 and placed on her only two visits to Ripon, latest a close call three starts back; none of her 16 races were beyond 5f but this trip now looks worth a go; one to consider.

A dual winner (including over C&D) in 2025; quite lightly raced this season and not discredited when third in 5f handicaps at Ripon and Catterick last two runs; one to consider.

Form & Verdict
Came well away from the rest with Cheerleader at Redcar last Monday, having made most of the running in a first-time hood, and is due to go up 2lb from tomorrow; tonight's easy 5f from a handy draw should be right up her street.

Weakly efforts at 2, but wasn't raced as if stamina or fitness were an issue on this month's Catterick handicap/seasonal debut (5f, good to soft), just fading 1f out; well drawn for another assertive ride.

Had a good run of form in early summer last year, getting off the mark at Redcar (6f, good to firm), but rather up and down since and she found little at Ayr ten days ago; hard to rule out if back to best, though.

A good spell in 2025 included a Redcar win (6f, good to firm) and a close second in this race (good to soft); slow to find her form this year but things started to look up when she was second of nine at Carlisle (6f) in June; primed to go well.

Trainer gained most wins with older horses and this maiden, who's still to finish placed and is having a first run over 5f, will do well to bolster an ordinary recent strike-rate with 3yos.

Produced her best performance for a long time when second of 16 in first-time blinkers (retained since) at Redcar (6f, good) last month; however, the headgear didn't have the same effect when mid-division there (6f, good) last time and she remains a maiden after 26 starts.
