5f nursery winner for Bryan Smart last summer who ran respectably starting out for new yard/after 8 months off when second of 9 in handicap at Thirsk (5f) 18 days ago, that despite not being seen to best effect. That was encouraging and she's fancied to build on it here.
|
Winning debut at Ripon in April and posted best effort since switched to more positive tactics when third of 9 in handicap at Thirsk (5f, good to firm, 15/2) 18 days ago, no extra close home. Claims with a repeat.
|
Consistent rather than progressive this year, good fourth of 9 in handicap at Thirsk (5f, good to firm) 18 days ago. Handy draw to operate from is an obvious plus but she appears to be no more than averagely treated.
|
Signed off 2-y-o campaign with victory in a Wolverhampton nursery (5.1f) in October. Switched yards thereafter and comes here with something to prove, last of 9 in handicap at Thirsk (5f, good to firm) 18 days ago. Cheekpieces go on now.
|
Caused a shock when making a winning return on stable debut at Redcar (5f) in May. However, proved that no fluke when smoothly following up under a penalty at Catterick (5f) 5 weeks ago and this improving filly has a part to play again despite a 10 lb weights rise.
|
Justified good support when off the mark in 8-runner handicap at Wetherby (5.5f) and backed up improvement displayed then when third at Doncaster (6f) 3 weeks ago. Expected to be in the thick of things again.
|
Speedily-bred filly who has offered promise all 3 starts to date, holding her own for a long way when sixth of 16 in class 2 novice at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) 28 days ago. Switch to handicaps in her favour and she's likely capable of better back down in trip.
|
Lightly-raced maiden. 18/1, sixth of 8 in handicap at Redcar (5f, good to firm) 29 days ago. No surprise where she to build on that given it was her first start for 7 months and worth noting if the market spoke in her favour.
|
Lightly-raced maiden who wasn't far off pick of her form when fifth of 10 in handicap at Newmarket (6f, good to firm, 22/1) 14 days ago, weakening last ½f. Likely needs to pull out a bit more if she's to make the breakthrough here.

CHEERLEADER has clearly returned an improved model for her new yard, opening her account at Redcar prior to following up in smooth style under a penalty at Catterick 5 weeks ago. That effort hasn't gone unnoticed by the assessor but she hasn't finished improving yet on that evidence and could well be up to completing the hat-trick. Lady Roxby shaped well when runner-up at Thirsk and is feared along with Atomic Mass.
