What makes this worth paying attention to is the yard behind it. Trainer Olly Murphy, based in Wilmcote in Warwickshire, has sent out 146 winners already this season — a remarkable volume that marks him out as one of the busiest and most effective trainers in the country right now. When a horse with that kind of operation in its corner wins first time out, it tends to mean the team liked what they saw in training and felt the horse was ready. You don't waste a promising debutant; you place it where it can win.
Whether Lost In The Dream goes on to build on this is the question worth watching. A perfect record is a lovely thing, but it only stays perfect until the next race. For now, though, one run and one win is as clean a start as any horse can make.
