RACE STATS
LEADING COURSE TRAINER (15-20): B Haslam (35 wins from 259 runners, 14%) runs DEPUTY STAR
TRAINER-IN-FORM (LAST 14 DAYS): David Loughnane (4 wins from 23 runners, 17%) runs JUNIORS DREAM
LONGEST TRAVELLER: IRISH TIMES trained by H Spiller, Newmarket, 241 miles.
RACE SUMMARY JUNIORS DREAM proved a different proposition as he landed a gamble on
return/yard debut at Haydock on Wednesday and a repeat should see him tough to beat under a penalty
now switched to all-weather. Midnight In Havana and Deputy Star rate next best, in that order.

on his form in novice events. Yard amongst the winners and he is still low mileage at least. TFRHHHII BHA52
