Dream primed to strike
He has clearly been ready to run for a while, having missed a couple of recent engagements for various reasons, including a postponement.
The son of Galileo showed little on his debut at the Curragh last October, finishing tenth of 19 behind John Oxx’s Call To Battle.
He looked an entirely different proposition three weeks later, however, when beaten a short head into second by stable companion Thomasgainsborough at Leopardstown.
Faanan Aldaar and Precious Stone, separated by three parts of a length when second and third behind Demurely at Limerick, are the obvious dangers.
Willie Mullins’ Blackstairmountain can make a winning return to the flat in the Meath Farm Machinery Race.
He was last seen on the level when winning a maiden at the Galway festival 1,073 days ago.
The seven-year-old’s latest outing was at the Punchestown festival in late April when a length and a half runner-up to Lucky William in a Grade 1 chase.
The Irish Stallion Farms’ EBF Median Auction Maiden may be best left to Andrew Oliver’s Fontana Di Trevi.
She was beaten three lengths by another Oliver inmate, Hard Core Debt, at Sligo over an extended six furlongs, shaping as if a step up in trip, which is now afforded her, would suit.
Safest wager at Wexford is Raptor in the Audrey McGrath Memorial Chase. There should be loads of pace here, with Baily Green and Regal d’Estruval involved, and Raptor, who stayed on powerfully when scoring at Punchestown in May, is fancied to cut them down late on.
