My Dream Boat set for Ascot return

My Dream Boat will return to the scene of his finest hour when he runs in the Qipco Champion Stakes at Ascot on October 15.
Clive Cox's stable star won the Prince of Wales's Stakes at the Royal meeting in June before disappointing in the Coral-Eclipse at Sandown.
After a break he finished a highly respectable fifth in the Irish Champion Stakes, widely regarded as the hottest race of the season to date.
"I was very happy with My Dream Boat in what was a hotly-contested Group One," said Cox.
"To be part of it and perform how he did in such an event, we were thrilled. Even though he didn't win, he ran another solid race and confirmed his well-being.
"He has come out of the race well and we will be looking at the Champion Stakes.
"We are very relaxed about this time of year as we are likely to get more rain than not, so he should have his perfect surface."
