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.

Won her first two starts for the yard in May last year, but her form since then has been uneven; well held on last month's Thirsk return (5f, good; first start since a second wind operation) and she needs to improve on that.

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.

Scored off today's basement mark at Redcar (6f, good to firm) just under a year ago and came second over C&D (soft) in September; yet to strike form after four starts this year but there have been some excuses; worth a glance in the betting.

Form & Verdict
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.
