G2 Dahlia S. heroine Dreamloper (Ire) (Lope de Vega {Ire}) will try her luck against males in the G1 Prix d'Ispahan at ParisLongchamp on Sunday, according to trainer Ed Walker. A winner of the G3 Valiant S. last July and third in the G1 Sun Chariot S. later that year, the bay mare clawed out a nose victory in the Dahlia S. at Newmarket on May 1. After her visit to France, the J. Fill colourbearer has an engagement in the June 26 G1 Pretty Polly S.
“The plan is to go for the Prix d'Ispahan on Sunday, she's in very good form and she came out of the Newmarket race well,” Walker said. “It is a big ask to go and take on the colts in a Group 1, but it is a nice stepping stone between the Dahlia and the Pretty Polly.
“We've been very pleased with her and we were very happy with the Newmarket run, she saw it out well–we're looking forward to it.”
