Dream earns Cornwallis shot at Newmarket

After putting a personal best display when runner-up in the Flying Childers Stakes Fantasy Shot Can be headed for the Cornwallis Stakes at Newmarket.

Trainer James Tate was thrilled with the Dream Ahead colt completed his race to claim second place, just a length behind the Breeders’ Cup jumped A’Ali at Doncaster over five furlongs at the Group 2.
“He ran a blinder. He is not the simplest. He is a bit wayward. He came home well and that was certainly a career-best attempt,” stated the Newmarket handler.
“I would have believed something similar to the Cornwallis will be on his radar.
“He’s got an entry in a Listed race (Harry Rosebery Stakes) in Ayr this week but the Cornwallis are likely.”
Tate revealed Kyllang Rock is unlikely unless floor condition ease, to take up his engagement in the Dubai International Airport World Trophy at Newbury on Saturday.
“He’s in good shape. He won his own terms race well another day (at Nottingham),” he said.
“He does enjoy ease from the ground and the forecast looks pretty dry right now.
“I would say he will probably sidestep the weekend unless the prediction changed.”
