Dream Castle (GB)

Group-class gelding; Doncaster maiden winner in April 2017 on debut and runner-up in the Group 3 Greenham at Newbury later that month; improved when fifth in the 2000 Guineas at Newmarket and filled same position in the Group 3 Jersey Stakes; later runner-up a Group 2 in Turkey and produced a couple of good runs at Meydan during 2018, notably when third in the Group 2 Al Fahidi Fort; showed the benefit of a gelding operation when winning his first three starts of 2019, capped by his biggest achievement to date in the Grade 1 Jebel Hatta; he failed to live up to expectations for the remainder of that year, but has enjoyed something of a revival at Meydan in 2020, finishing placed in a couple of Group 2s and fourth in the Group 1 Jebel Hatta, up to 1m1f; well beaten in Wolferton Stakes (10f, soft) at Royal Ascot on next start and also in Listed Steventon Stakes at Newbury (10f, good) in July but readily won a conditions event at Thirsk in August; followed that with a second in the Group 3 Darley Stakes; held in the Bahrain International Trophy when next seen but better effort when third in Group 2 over 9f when next seen at Meydan in early 2021; well below that form when tailed off over 9f at same track in February; slightly better later the same month when fourth of seven in Group 3 over 10f.
