Racing Post verdict

Third-party

Real Dream shaped with plenty of promise when making ground late over a trip that was clearly too sharp last time out, and the step up to fourteen furlongs at Ascot on good-to-firm ground looks tailor-made for a horse whose profile suggests there is more to come. The handicapper appears to have left him with a workable mark, and with the extra distance now in his favour, a bold show is anticipated. Stressfree, Hallelujah U, and Incensed all carry strong claims and must be respected, while Valiancy's progressive profile makes him a significant rival even if the quick ground introduces a small question. **Real Dream** is the selection.
