9th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 212y Class 1 |
9st 10lb |
None too consistent in 2025, running well when second in 1m Listed event at Sandown (soft) in September but poorly twice afterwards; returns from a layoff and may find that conditions place the emphasis too much on speed. |
25/1 |

24th Oct 2025 Heavy 0m 7f 6y Class 2 |
10st 0lb |
Form this term features a good effort, behind the subsequent QEII winner, at Sandown (Listed) on penultimate run; did too much up front latest; 2-2 over C&D (soft-ground novice wins) and looks interesting back here. |
9/1 |

4th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Lacks consistency but produced a solid run in defeat at Listed level last time (1m, soft) and this drop back to 7f will be no hardship; Charles Bishop gets off to partner Great Acclaim but this 4yo is respected off a competitive mark. |

21st Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Finished a close fourth in the Spring Mile at Doncaster in March when rated 6lb higher (1m, good to soft); short of that level in three runs since, including when sent off favourite at Sandown last month (7f, soft; after three months off); drops in class with a hood tried but he comes with risk attached. |

12th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
8st 12lb |
Hasn't kicked on as might have been expected from promising fourth of 21 in Spring Mile at Doncaster (good to soft) in March in two subsequent outings; still has time on his side though and he brings a different profile to most; needs to settle better but quite interesting. |

29th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Only 1-12 for current yard but gained the success off 7lb higher in a division of this contest on reappearance last year (good ground); great chance assuming he starts this season in similar form. |
8/1 |

2 (5) |
25th Oct 2025 Heavy 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
He's 6lb lower than when winning over C&D (good) in March in a hood, which goes back on today; however, he's gone off the boil more recently and needs to produce more than he's managed on his last few starts. |

15th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 1m 2f 43y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Improved when winning in clearcut style from off the pace on handicap debut at Yarmouth (1m, good to firm) in August; perhaps his run under a penalty one week later came too soon, as he disappointed; he's a lightly raced 3yo and the style of his win makes this new trip look interesting. |

8th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Some promise when fourth of 11 on his Doncaster debut (7f, soft) in May, but twice held since (gelded/wind surgery before latest start); open to progress now handicapping, though, and worth a second look. |

9st 3lb |
10-1 and green, but showed promise on his first run when third of 13 in 7f Kempton novice 30 days ago; there's more to come from this son of Ten Sovereigns so he's one to consider. |

31st Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Two solid efforts for Roger Varian in January; sent off at big prices and has finished well beaten in three runs for new connections; should be well handicapped and he is another who needs monitoring in the betting. |
25/1 |

12th 12 (9) |
18th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Down the field in two C&D runs for this yard; Jack Mitchell, who won on him when he was with Roger Varian, returns to the saddle. |

4th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Two wins for Roger Varian last year, over 7f here and 1m at Leicester; ended his time with that yard with a solid third at Newcastle in January but well beaten over C&D for new yard 14 days ago. |

16th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
No impact in a handful of turf handicaps this summer but different proposition back on AW and with first-time cheekpieces added to his tongue-tie (combination retained) when seeing off 13 rivals over C&D 17 days ago; only nudged up 2lb and will be very competitive if in a similar mood. |
7/2 |

29th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
0-5 on turf for new stable this season; hinted at possible return to form in first-time tongue-tie two starts ago but suffered heavy defeat last time (breathing issue reported); sports cheekpieces for AW return; risky. |
16/1 |

7th 4 (3) |
13th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 1f 201y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
1-6 in 2024 for Sir Mark Prescott; not so good this year and, although beaten about only 3l on two of his last three starts, he needs to drop further in the weights unless improving on that 2025 form; tongue tied last time (upped to 1m2f) and today. |

17th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Ended 2025 with victory at Newcastle (1m2f) in September but he's yet to fire this spring, only eighth in 9.5f Wolverhampton handicap last month; needs to take a big step forward despite a slipping mark. |
16/1 |

8th 3 (3) |
9th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won at Hamilton (8.5f, good) and by 4.75l at Newcastle (1m2f, AW) last year; dropped away inside the final furlong at the latter track three weeks ago but may take a step forward from that first start for 189 days. |

14th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 4f 0y |

Sole success came in a Roscommon claimer in August (10.5f, good); heavy ground may not have been ideal on debut for this yard on latest at Listowel but others make more appeal. |
9/1 |

5 (10) |
22nd Sep 2025 Yielding To Soft 1m 6f 55y |
9st 11lb |
Three seconds for William Haggas but had failed to make frame in six starts for Denis Hogan before dropping in grade to take a good ground Roscommon claimer over an extended 1m2f in his final start for that outfit last month; can't be ruled out but others preferred. |
10/1 |

19th Aug 2025 Good 1m 2f 95y |

Three seconds for William Haggas, has failed to make the frame in Irish maidens/claimers; not disgraced in a 1m handicap at the Curragh last Saturday, may hold his own here. |

20th Sep 2024 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Off the mark at the sixth attempt when winning a C&D novice 23 days ago; picked up well in a steadily run race (Cognisance won the second division in a time over two seconds quicker) on that occasion and could have more to offer on this surface. |
7/2 |

1st 10 (2) |
28th Aug 2024 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Five-race maiden; best efforts when runner-up three times, beaten only half a length at Salisbury (7f) most recently; hasn't progressed in the expected manner but brings the best form to this AW debut and is bred to be suited by the new scenario (dam's first win came over C&D). |

Zoustar half-brother to winners Silent Echo (6f/7f including AW; RPR 107), Quietly Confident (French 6.5f AW; 79) and Deference (Spanish 1m1f); dam 1m 2yo winner (93); makes paper appeal and would enter the reckoning if the betting suggests he's fancied. |
