Verdict
There is no real evidence on breeding that a further step up in trip will suit Ultimate Dream but he does wear blinkers for the first time and was well backed when fourth at Huntingdon. Young Lou is still climbing the weights but is entitled to be thereabouts again, though we prefer OVER TO MIDNIGHT. Susan Brooke's mare could only muster the one pace over 2m5f at Ludlow last time but that was an improvement on previous efforts and this looks no tougher.
