He's a grand horse and Denis thinks a lot of him. He needs to brush up on his jumping but he'll learn from racing. He's a very big horse and the further he goes the better he'll be. He's 17 hands and every day I weigh him he's heavier. He's just maturing. He's a horse that will hopefully go places. He'll probably go to Fairyhouse next for a Graded race that his mother won years ago. Francis Casey, trainer

The Stewards received a report from Ms. Joan Taylor M.V.B., M.R.C.V.S., Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board Veterinary Officer, that she was unable to positively identify Dreamsrmadeofthis, trained by E. Bolger. Evidence was heard from the Veterinary Officer and the Trainer's Authorised Representative, Mr. Brendan Hanley. The Veterinary Officer stated that as the microchip could not be found following the use of three different scanners and there were also some discrepencies in the markings she could not positively identify the horse. Having considered the evidence, the Stewards ordered the withdrawal of Dreamsrmadeofthis as the horse could not be identified in the manner specified by Rule 90 (iii) and referred the matter to a Senior Racing Official in accordance with the provisions of Rule 90 (iv)
