Secret Dreamer^b1²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: T D Barron| OR: 55

12/1

Took a step forward on reappearance, but failed to repeat that effort when well-beaten eighth of 10 in novice at Redcar (6f, good to firm, 50/1) 29 days ago. Blinkers now added as she drops in trip for handicap debut.

Form: 7-58

(3)

Wee Mary^h¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Kaiya Fraser⁽³⁾| T: R Menzies| OR: 54

7/4

With hood applied making only third start on turf, got back on the up when ¾-length second of 8 to Cheerleader in handicap at Redcar (5f, good to firm, 12/1) 11 days ago, showing good early speed. Can make another bold bid.

Form: 069-262

Cheerleader¹¹^{(ex 6)}

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Joanna Mason| T: Miss T Jackson| OR: 48| D

11/8

Making first start since leaving K. R. Burke, caused a 66/1 surprise after 9 months off when winning 8-runner handicap at Redcar (5f, good to firm) 11 days ago by ¾ length from Wee Mary, scoring cosily. Leading contender under a penalty.

Form: 76324-1

Queen Dinah^p1²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: S A Gray| T: K A Ryan| OR: 52

20/1

Has finished well held all 3 starts this year, faring no better on handicap debut (had a wind op) when ninth of 10 at Ripon (6f, good to firm, 14/1) 3 weeks ago. Cheekpieces reached for as she tries 5f for the first time.

Form: 65-479

(7)

Ziva's Star¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Ben Sanderson| T: S Whitaker| OR: 46

20/1

Good fourth in novice at Pontefract in April but hasn't built on that effort in 2 handicaps since, though caught wide when seventh of 10 at Ripon (6f, good to firm, 9/1) 12 days ago. Could fare better trying 5f for the first time.

Form: 90-5447

(6)

Baby Rover⁵⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: William Pyle⁽³⁾| T: K Scott| OR: 45

11/1

Has made a bit more impact with cheekpieces fitted last 2 starts, fourth of 8 in handicap at Southwell (5f, 16/1) 56 days ago when Wee Mary was ahead in second. Needs to find more again back on turf.

Form: 99-6774

Writteninthestars¹⁶¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: George Downing| T: R M H Cowell| OR: 45

7/1

Didn't offer much in his 3 starts last year, again finishing well held when eighth of 10 in novice at Southwell (5f, 250/1) when last seen in December. Needs to leave previous efforts well behind sent handicapping.

Form: 988-

Forecasts

Cheerleader (11/8), Wee Mary (7/4), Writteninthestars (7/1), Baby Rover (11/1), Secret Dreamer (12/1), Ziva's Star (20/1), Queen Dinah (20/1)

Making her seasonal/stable debut, CHEERLEADER showed much improved form when opening her account at Redcar 11 days ago and she could be capable of scoring again now that she's up and running. She is taken to confirm the placings with Wee Mary from when the pair met last time, with Ziva's Star the pick of the remainder.
