Tony Carroll, Cropthorne T B Tally-Ho Stud Millen Hotels S TIMEFORM VIEW Snapped a long losing run on turf when landing a 6-runner Epsom handicap (5f) in April.

Stuart Williams, Newmarket T B Old Mill Stud & S. Williams & J. Parry Tote S TIMEFORM VIEW Latest win at Kempton in April and wasn’t disgraced back on all-weather at Chelmsford last time. Rarely seen on turf nowadays so looks vulnerable from a win point of view. TFRHHIII BHA76
DECLARED RUNNERS 17
Hood worn first time by No. 10. Sheepskin Cheek Pieces worn first time by No. 2. Visor worn by No. 3. Tongue Strap worn by No. 1, 2, 17. Sheepskin Cheek Pieces worn by No. 6, 7, 16. Stewards Note: KING OF STARS: Following its run on 7/8/2021 it was reported that the horse lost a shoe. BUY ME BACK: Following its run on 10/8/2021 it was reported that the horse’s saddle slipped. Probable S.P’s: 15-2 Global Prospector (USA), A Pint of Bear (IRE), 8-1 Just Glamorous (IRE), 10-1 Blue de Vega (GER), 12-1 Modular Magic (GB), 14-1 Beyond Equal (GB), Get It (GB), 18-1 Concierge (IRE), 20-1 Aljady (FR), 22-1 King of Stars (IRE), A Sure Welcome (GB), Nelson Gay (IRE), Buy Me Back (GB), Be Proud (IRE), 25-1 First Edition (IRE), 50-1 Recon Mission (IRE), Royal Birth (GB) This can go the way of David Barron’s MODULAR MAGIC, who showed excellent speed to get across from his wide draw when making all at Musselburgh 4 weeks ago and is taken to defy a subsequent 4lb rise in the weights. Global Prospector is in the form of his life since moving to Chris Dwyer so he rates as an obvious danger, ahead of Blue de Vega and Beyond Equal.
