1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
6f winner last autumn; has been running respectably in 7f/1m handicaps without looking ahead of her mark; now moves up in distance (sister won up to 1m2f); should be thereabouts. |
9/4 |
|
5th 7 (3) |
11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
Has started her handicap career with solid placed efforts at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) and Thirsk (1m, good); likely to go well again |
9/2 |

3rd 6 (1) |
31st May 2026 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Won 2yo novice at York (6f, good) last October on second start; mid-division in Listed race later that month and reappeared with good second on handicap debut at Newmarket (7f, good to firm); stayed on well last time and this step up to 1m could prompt further improvement; lots to like. |

27th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 182y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Reappeared with a convincing win at Pontefract (6f, good to soft) in April but he hasn't managed to add to that initial success in two subsequent York handicaps; it's still fairly early days and maybe this stiffer track will suit. |
14/1 |
|
7th 1 (1) |
25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Scored with authority on his return in Pontefract novice (6f, good to soft) in April; never on the pace when well-beaten eighth of 14 in 6f handicap here 12 weeks later but it's possible he'll benefit from this step up to 7f and remains unexposed after four starts; going than firmer than good would be a first. |
14/1 |
|
8th 5 (14) |
27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Very promising debut when 50-1 second in C&D novice (good) in October and heavy ground was a plausible excuse when he underwhelmed next time; scored with authority on his return in Pontefract novice (6f, good to soft) nearly twelve weeks ago; not seen since but this opening mark looks fair and he's much respected. |

27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Consistent in first four starts, including an AW 5f win in November, but he took it up a notch when a neck second of 19 at Ascot (6f, good) seven weeks ago; raised 5lb but he's a leading contender. |
5/4 |
|
2nd 8 (13) |
8th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Consistent in four starts, including win at Newcastle (5f) in November and when second to Arry Up at Kempton (6f, also AW; stumbled start) on handicap debut/reappearance one month ago; acts on turf and shouldn't be far away from same mark. |
10/1 |
|
2nd 3 (5) |
8th Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Placed twice over 6f on turf before winning 5f AW novice at skinny odds at Newcastle in November; back up in trip for this seasonal/handicap debut and features prominently in calculations. |

5th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Eight-race maiden; seemed to respond well to first-time visor when third of six at Yarmouth (6f, good to firm) last month and should be fine over this extra furlong; now tries cheekpieces; enters calculations. |
7/2 |
|
3rd 3 (5) |
15th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Promise for Adrian Keatley over the winter but he was expensive to follow for that yard; disappointing in three turf handicaps (6f/5f) for James Owen this season and he needs a transformation with visor now tried. |

20th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Best form when winning 5f Southwell AW maiden in March for Karl Burke; has not run to her mark in handicaps at Ffos Las and back at Southwell in two runs for this yard and likely needs more weight off her back. |
9/1 |
|
6th 4 (2) |
18th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Landed a maiden over C&D in March for Karl Burke but well below par both subsequent runs in 5f handicaps, only sixth of eight for her new yard at Ffos Las two weeks ago; has something to prove. |
7/1 |
|
6th 3 (6) |
4th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Ran in these colours for Karl Burke and was progressing when winning her AW maiden; her handicap debut back at Southwell was underwhelming given she went off favourite; probably better than that. |

17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
As with stablemate Star Noir he has claims on his best form, namely a 7f third at Musselburgh (soft) last November; two heavy defeats in handicaps this year and drops back to 5f on a recovery mission. |
14/1 |
|
7th 7 (4) |
10th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Six-race maiden; placed over 7f on soft ground as a 2yo but was always behind on seasonal/handicap debut at Beverley (7.4f, good to soft) in April and will need a much more dynamic performance here. |

19th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 173y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
2-5 in handicaps this season, coming from off the pace to win at Redcar (1m, good to firm) in April and adding an 8.3f success at Hamilton 18 days ago; 3lb higher today and doesn't have the benefit of Conor Whiteley's claim but he is still low mileage and could progress further. |
11/2 |
|
1st 9 (8) |
1st Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 68y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Low-mileage 3yo whose form since handicapping features a reappearance win at Redcar (1m) in April and keeping-on second at Carlisle (1m1f, good to soft) in June; beaten by more than lack of stamina over 1m2f at Pontefract since, though. |
13/2 |
|
7th 7 (3) |
29th Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
Low-mileage 3yo whose form since handicapping features a reappearance win at Redcar (1m) in April and keeping-on second at Carlisle (1m1f) last time; may still have further progress in him and this return to 1m2f is worth a go; shortlisted. |

9st 7lb |
33-1 when a well-beaten last of eight on his York debut (6f, good) this month; half-brother to a dual C&D winner, but he needs to take a big step forward. |

10th Oct 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |

28,000euros yearling; fourth foal; Zoustar half-brother to winners Our Havana (7f; RPR 102) and Bishop's Crown (6f; 91); dam 7f/1m winner (93); one of two newcomers for connections; market check advised but he will need to be useful to make a winning start. |
