Dan’s Dream set to miss Ascot


The Mick Channon-trained Dan's Dream is set to be handed a mid-season break, meaning a race at is not on the cards.

Channon was forced to withdraw the three-year-old from the Irish 1,000 Guineas at due to a dirty scope.


However, he feels the conditions would have been a little bit too quick for the Fred Darling winner and she is now likely to be rested throughout the summer in preparation for the autumn campaign, something which Channon believes might be a good thing in the long term.


“She has just got a bit of mucus in her and she scoped bad, otherwise we would have gone to Ireland with her,” said Channon.


“But, having said that, it's probably a blessing with how the ground was.


“What we will probably do now is miss Ascot and the Coronation Stakes and prepare for the autumn when we get some soft ground again.


“She is in everything but the ground has gone on us.


“We hope we can have a nice fresh filly for the back-end of the season.”
