Dream still alive after Middle romp

Dream Ahead added another level of intrigue to the two-year-old division by providing trainer David Simcock with his first British Group One in the Shadwell Middle Park Stakes at Newmarket today.

It was not so much a victory as a demolition, with the unbeaten-in-three colt sweeping through to lead with staggering ease at the furlong pole and finishing nine lengths clear despite drifting left across the track.
