The recent form makes for intriguing reading. A tenth-place finish is sandwiched between a run of third, third, and fourth placings, with the most recent outing — just yesterday — producing a fourth. In other words, this is a horse that has been consistently knocking on the door without quite breaking through. Whether that represents a horse on the improve that hasn't clicked yet, or one that is finding its natural level, is the question Kevin Ryan will be asking himself.
Ryan is one of the more respected trainers operating out of the north of England, based at Hambleton in North Yorkshire, and his yard has been in fine form this season — 45 winners and counting. That kind of output from a single season means Ryan knows how to find races for his horses and how to get them ready to perform. Regal Dream is in capable hands, and at just three years old, there is plenty of time for that first win to arrive. Horses at this age are still learning the job, and a yard firing at this rate tends to find the right opportunity eventually.
