The recent form figures tell a story of steady, if modest, improvement. Reading from the most recent race backwards — 8th, 5th, 5th, 4th, 10th, 7th — there is a gradual drift toward the front of the field. A 4th place finish stands out as the closest brush with a placing, and back-to-back 5th place finishes suggest a horse that is learning its trade and finding its feet, even if the winning line remains elusive. That 10th place earlier in the sequence is best forgotten.
Gallagher's yard has sent out 8 winners this season, so the team clearly knows how to get a horse to the front. Dream Of Ithaca, racing most often at Class 4 level — the solid, workmanlike middle tier of British racing — simply hasn't found a way to convert its efforts into a result yet. With a race as recently as yesterday, the yard are clearly not giving up, and at three years old there is still time for things to click.
