AT Navan on Sunday, Measureofmydreams was a somewhat lucky winner of the Grade 2 Ten Up Novice Chase over three miles, when his better-fancied stablemate Black Hercules came down
at the last, but that is no reason to suggest that the eight-year-old won’t succeed again at that level, or even go on to do well in Grade 1 company.

The gelding, another talented son of Burgage Stud’s classic star Shantou (by Alleged), was bred by Richard Keane, he is a €65,000 graduate of the Goffs Punchestown NH Sale, and he carries the famous Gigginstown House Stud colours.
