Rajstar
Rajstar is a 4-year-old who has taken his time to find his feet, with just 1 win and 1 placed finish from 7 races — a win rate of around 1 in 7. That single victory came at Newcastle back in February 2026, and it remains the defining moment of his career so far. He hasn't added to it since, and his recent form — finishing 5th, 5th, 1st, 8th, 7th, and 6th in his last six races — paints the picture of a horse who hit a peak and has been searching for it again ever since.Based on TrackLab's analysis

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
Where Rajstar does look most dangerous is over shorter distances. In races run between 5 and 6½ furlongs, he has won 1 from 3 — a rate of 1 in 3, or 33% — which is a much more encouraging picture than his overall record suggests. That tells you the trip matters with this horse; get it right, and he becomes a genuine contender rather than a also-ran.
He is trained by Ben Haslam at Middleham Moor in North Yorkshire, and the yard is clearly in decent form — 35 winners already this season. That kind of output from a trainer means horses are fit, well-prepared, and running when they are ready. Rajstar raced just yesterday, so he is very much in active training and the team clearly has plans for him. Whether he can rediscover the form that brought him that Newcastle win is the question worth watching.
