Bear To Dream

In total, Bear To Dream has won 5 races from 55 — roughly 1 in every 11 outings — and has placed a further 21 times, meaning it has given its supporters something to cheer in nearly half of all its races. The level it competes at is the lowest tier of British racing, Class 6, where the competition is modest but hard-fought, and Bear To Dream has made it work. On fast, dry ground it wins around 1 in every 7 races (3 from 20), and on normal conditions it improves to 1 in 4 (2 from 8), so a dry summer suits it well.

The yard behind the horse belongs to Michael Attwater, trained out of Epsom in Surrey — a yard that has already sent out 27 winners this season, so this is no small operation. William Carson rides Bear To Dream most often, partnering it 17 times for just the 1 win together, which sounds modest but reflects the horse's overall profile rather than any particular issue between the two.

The most recent win came at Chepstow on 17 July 2025 — so that Brighton loyalty has occasionally been set aside when the conditions are right elsewhere. Since then, the last 6 races have brought a second place as the best result, with two sevenths and an eighth in the mix, which suggests a horse that is running consistently without quite finding the spark to get its nose in front. Still, it raced just yesterday, so it is clearly fit and busy, and a return to Brighton on a dry day would have any regular follower of this horse sitting up a little straighter.
