Star Of Atlantis

Both of those wins have come at Class 6 level, which is the entry-level tier of British racing — the races where horses are finding their feet or are comfortably within their limits. From 20 races at that level, Star Of Atlantis has won 2, a rate of roughly 1 in every 10, which suggests it is competitive without ever threatening to outgrow the company. Its first win came at Southwell in January 2025, and its second at Wolverhampton in May 2025 — both all-weather tracks, which is worth noting as a pattern worth watching.

What is harder to ignore is the current run of form. Star Of Atlantis has not won in its last six races, and those finishing positions — seventh, ninth, eighth, eighth, fifth, eighth — paint a picture of a horse doing little to threaten the leaders. The fifth-place finish is the one flicker of interest in an otherwise quiet sequence. It raced just one day ago, so the yard are clearly keeping it busy, but the results have not rewarded that activity.

Jockey Finley Marsh has had nine rides on the horse without a single win between them — 0 from 9 is a partnership that has not yet clicked, though in fairness the overall record gives any rider limited material to work with. Trainer Adrian Wintle, based at Westbury-On-Severn in Gloucestershire, has had a productive season with 28 winners from the yard, which shows the operation knows how to get horses winning. The question is whether Star Of Atlantis has another one in it — its last victory was over 12 months ago now, and each race that passes makes the next win feel a little more elusive.
