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.

Went back-to-back in May on her first two runs for this yard but appeared to give her running when a well-held second last time and might be high in the weights now.

Surprise winner on stable debut at Redcar (5f, good to firm; 66-1) in May but she followed up with a clearcut success under a penalty at Catterick (5f, good to soft); still looks feasibly treated on that form but she flopped at Beverley last month and needs to bounce back after 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.

Sole win (from 23 attempts) came in AW classified in January; however, she's run well off this mark in turf handicaps on her last four starts (5f/6f, good/good to firm) and there's every chance she'll be bang there.

1-22; third to a stablemate of Classy Clarets over 5f here (12-1) on penultimate start, and better than the bare form suggests - switched left to make solid late headway - when fourth to Classy Clarets at Hamilton (5f apprentices') on Friday evening; 6f looks ideal; player.

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.
