Haunted Dream shed his maiden tag in impressive style at Chelmsford on Thursday night.
The two-year-old son of Oasis Dream was partnered with Tom Marquand for his all-weather debut. With a lucky draw in stall one, the pair jumped well and settled in behind the Sir Mark Prescott trained, Mezzanotte, who set a strong early pace. Turning the bend two furlongs from home, Marquand pushed Haunted Dream into an extending lead all the way up the home straight to win by an easy four and three quarter lengths.
Haunted Dream relished the step up to a mile and a quarter, and he certainly looks an exciting progressive sort for next season. Congratulations must go out to his owner, Mr Paul Turner.
