“Walk Of Stars has done really well,” Seemar said.

“He won his last two impressively including winning a Grade 1 last start and he deserves his place here.”

While Romantic Warrior boasts a career-best Racing and Sports rating of 130, Walk Of Stars’ latest triumph earned him a rating of 122. Seemar is counting on his charge’s versatility to close the gap.

“He was a very high-class horse when he was running in the UK on the turf – he ran in the Epsom Derby – and then we got him and after three races on the dirt, he was thrown in the deep end with the best horses in the country.”

“He performed really well and this year he has performed really well and has learned how to race on the dirt.”

“He’s a horse who has got tactical speed and he has the stamina to go with it. He is very adaptable.”

However, a key concern is the six-year-old’s tendency to get distracted.

“He is turning out to be a proper dirt horse and the only worry is that he looks at everything and he needs to adapt to the place,” Seemar added.

“I hope that over the next couple of days he will get used to it as today when he went on the track for the first time and he was like a two-year-old looking around at everything.”

“I’m hoping he’s going to get used to it.”

Seemar will also be represented in the Group 2 Red Sea Handicap (3000m), where Trafalgar Square makes his debut for the stable.

The four-year-old, previously trained in France, finished second in the Group 2 Prix Chaudenay (3000m) at Longchamp last October.

“We wanted to give him a run in Dubai but things didn’t work out.”

“His blood wasn’t perfect but he’s good now.”
