The Dream comes through for Field Field Of Dream made it third time lucky to lift the Royal Hunt Cup. The Jamie Osborne-trained gelding has been a regular fixture in the one-mile cavalry charge, finishing fourth in 2012 and sixth last year. As 12 months ago partnered by Adam Kirby, the seven-year-old burst through inside the final half-furlong to win by a length and a quarter from Chil The Kite, with the same distance back to Steeler, who led from halfway. Sea Shanty was fourth for the Queen. Kirby said of the 20-1 winner: "I'm chuffed to bits with him. He's been a good horse to me, really, as I won a Bunbury Cup on him and he was unlucky in this race last year. "He loves it when they go quick, he loves coming there on the bridle and he's done it well really. He's a good horse when it goes right. "It ended up going perfect. We got loads of cover, it got real tight but I knew when it opened up I could go. "He's a bit of an old character, but fair play to Jamie Osborne, who told me he'd trained him differently and he was in really good nick - he was spot on." Osborne said: "I was hopeful. He's ran in the last two Hunt Cups having been to Dubai and had a few runs. By the time we were getting to June we were nearly piecing him back together, rather than training him for a race. "We decided we'd leave to Dubai out and leave him fresh for this race in the hope we'd get a bit more out of him. "His work of late has been very good. He's done his job leading Toast Of New York the last couple of weeks. "He's a good old stick and at the age of seven maybe we've worked out how to train him! "He's in the Bunbury Cup with the penalty, so that could be the one." The runner-up's trainer Hughie Morrison said: "We've just been beaten in the most competitive handicap of the year off 109. That's Group form. "We'll have a look around for a race, but we can go anywhere with that turn of foot."
