Age might be catching up but he's a multiple winner on a potentially good mark and Tuesday's run on the AW was respectable.

Backed when winning over 7f here in April (good) and first-time cheekpieces perhaps backfired at Doncaster; those aids are now left off but has stamina to prove over this far.

No win since May 2024 but ran well on occasions last year, albeit over 7f which is more his trip; others might see this out better but has each-way claims.

Thoroughly exposed three-time winner who may need further now; underwhelming return
Stable Tour
"She won very well at Ayr last week. She has gone up 3lb to 60 and is entered back there on Tuesday night. She's grown about an inch and a half over the winter. She had a sinus problem but had an operation and it looks like it's made a big difference. Euchan Falls, one of our jumpers, had it as well and he also ran well afterwards. I see her as a mid-60s horse. 16-05-24"
Quotes
"I came here today fancying Zebra Star a lot more than than Ski Angel (trainer's later winner). This mare has changed. Clyde Vets were fantastic and we found a sinus problem and operated to sort it at the tail end of last year. It's definitely helped her and she's getting stronger and better all the time, and I think she'll stay further. She's taken a wee bit of time to grow and has just matured over the winter - Mike Smith, trainer, speaking on Racing TV."
2024-05-02 - Ayr"Soft ground is the key to Zebra Star and she loved it out there. Hopefully she'll have a productive autumn and also has the scope for next year - George Boughey, trainer."

"She's ready to run and has had a few entries. She was only small when she came to us. The owners had her in a field down the road. She's done nothing wrong whatsoever and she's improved after each gallop, so she's going to be the type to improve after a run or two. She could be okay. 21-06-24"
