Br Arrow Farm & Stud TIMEFORM VIEW Resumed progress in good style when accounting for his elders over 1 1/4m at Ayr in July, looking a useful prospect Too free up at 1 1/2m at Ascot since but well worth another chance back down in trip. STEWARDS NOTE: Following its run on 24/7/2021 it was reported that the horse ran too free in a slowly run race. TFRHHHHH

Br Trinity Park Stud S Emma Evans Racing Ltd TIMEFORM VIEW Capable if temperamental sort who was easy to back and shaped as though he would come on for his return/yard debut at Kempton (12f) 10 days ago. Mark has eased but needs to keep slow starting at bay. TFRHHHII

Betting Forecast: 15-8 Camelot Tales (FR), 3-1 Tawaareq (IRE), 9-2 Arctic Vega (GB), 8-1 Bill Peyto (IRE), 9-1 War Leader (USA), 14-1 Gold Arch (GB) Race Summary: CAMELOT TALES looked a useful prospect when scoring in fine style at Ayr (1 1/4m) on his penultimate start. His subsequent effort over further is best forgiven (proved too free) and he remains one to be positive about back down at this trip. Tawaareq and Arctic Vega are both proving consistent and can give the selection most to think about.
