Paul's Dream
Paul's Dream is a horse in the midst of a winning spell. The seven-year-old has won three of its last six races, including a victory at Galway just three weeks ago, and continues to race regularly—it was out just a day ago. Over a career spanning 21 races, it has racked up five wins and eleven places, winning roughly one race in every four it contests. That kind of consistency, combined with recent form, marks it as a genuinely useful performer.Based on TrackLab's analysis

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
Trained by Anthony Mullins at Gowran in County Kilkenny, Paul's Dream shows a clear preference for certain ground conditions. On soft, muddy ground it is particularly dangerous, winning two of its last three races on that surface—a 67 percent win rate that stands out sharply. Even on normal conditions it performs well, with three wins from seven races there. It first broke its duck at Wexford in August 2025 and has been a steady winner ever since. Danny Mullins, who rides the horse regularly, has partnered it to two wins from nine races together, a partnership that suggests good understanding but also room for improvement when the chemistry clicks. With the yard sending out nine winners already this season, Paul's Dream fits into a yard clearly capable of placing its horses to good effect. This is a horse worth watching on days when the ground gets wet—that is when it shows its best form.
