And one of the owners is football great Michael Owens, who previously had owned Brown Panther.
So it is great to see him back with a very promising horse, trained by Tom Dascombe and ridden by Richard Kingscote. They went off at 28/1 and beat Growl by ½ length and Gulliver another ½ length back in third, followed by Summerghand 11/1 fourth and Embour 20.1 fifth.
The Firth of Clyde G3 went to Rose of Kildare for Mark Johnston and Joe Fanning from Graceful Magic 5/1 and Endless Joy 20/1. Favourite Oriath was fourth.
At Newbury Pierre Lapin was no bunny as he won the Mill Reef by 1 ½ lengths from Mystery Power. They were the joint favourites.
For those who didn't remember him, Brown Panther had to be euthanised after a fall in the Irish St Leger and Michael Owens decribed it as the saddest day of his life.
