On a long losing sequence but he got right back on track in a refitted visor with second of 12 in 6f handicap at Hamilton last month; up 2lb but that form is proving strong and he can go well again in retained headgear.

Sole win from 18 starts came on his debut in a 5f maiden on soft ground in May 2024 but he has posted some good efforts since; midfield finishes in three starts this year, including when drawn wide at York over 7f on his last two outings; drops back in trip and down in grade with the visor returning.

Beaten 16 times since his winning 2yo debut but there have been several good runs along the way; two midfield finishes in good handicaps this summer; edging down the weights and he should be popping up soon.

Shaped well when second at Hamilton on debut (5f, soft) but hasn't progressed and was well beaten on nursery debut at York last time (6f, good to soft); this is easier but has a bit to prove.

Kept on for encouraging second of five on debut at Hamilton (5f, soft) in May; unable to build on that the next twice (6f/5f, good/AW) but could be on a handy opening mark if rediscovering his initial promise.

40,000gns yearling; seventh living foal; half-brother to four winners notably Well Done Fox (5f 2yo Listed); dam 5f winner (including 2yo/Listed); this Zoustar colt is bred to win races and the betting could be informative on debut; trainer also runs the twice-raced East Tyrone.

Sole win from 21 starts came in a 5f handicap here in April off the same mark as today's but he's mostly struggled since; has failed to beat a rival on his last two outings and the headgear is now removed.

Hasn't finished out of the first three in five starts here, including a win over this trip on good in April; well beaten at Pontefract in first-time blinkers latest but his course record affords him respect with regular cheekpieces also back in place.

Form & Verdict
Merely sixth of eight at Beverley (5f, good to firm) last time but prior to that he was a promising second of four on debut at Doncaster (5f, good to soft); he's the only one here with the benefit of experience and may well be back on slow ground today, which could be a positive; respected.

Infrequent winner (2-29); placed six times on AW since narrow win at Wolverhampton (6f; 18-1) in early January; failed to figure from a wide draw at Catterick (7f) latest so needs to bounce back; more appeal than stablemate Kitaab.

Doesn't find winning easy (2-28) but is consistent for the level; third in four of his last five AW starts, including when keeping on behind Mount Ruapehu at Southwell (6f; 14-1) 23 days ago; wide draw isn't ideal for turf return; stablemate of Indy's Angel.

All turf runs on good or quicker ground; has had a busy year with some mixed results but he's taken a healthy drop in the weights and nearly nicked a Carlisle race in July; returned to that level when imposing himself on a C&D race 12 days ago and, back up 4lb, should have a big say.
