He finishhed in front of several of his rivals in this, including Muthmir and Sole Power, and there was lots toi likeabout the way he dug deep and battled all the way to the line
Goldream then lost little in defeat last time out when a staying on 4 3/4 length fifth of 19 to Mecca’s Angel in the Group 1 Nunthorpe Stakes at York on soft ground which was totally unsuitable.
