Won a maiden at Market Rasen in July and a novice at Hexham the following month over around 2m4f but form has dipped since handicapping on his last two starts; blinkers replace cheekpieces on this drop in distance and he needs to be taken seriously in this low grade.

Form & Verdict
Son of My Dream Boat went 2-2 in bumpers at Kelso and Market Rasen but he failed to land the odds on his hurdling debut when third of eight at Uttoxeter (2m) 33 days ago; he may still do better in this sphere so needs considering.
