The well backed Theonewedreamof (11/2 into 7/2 before the off) was another to appreciate stepping up in trip in the concluding three-year-old handicap.

Runner-up over nine-and-a-half furlongs at Gowran earlier in the summer, the daughter of French Navy was one of the first off the bridle in a race run at a sound gallop. Pushed along in seventh turning for home, she soon started to stay on down the outside and collared the 13/8 favourite Our Scholar inside the final furlong before going on to score by a length and a half. Outsider Joven De Corazon came from well back to take second late on with the market leader another three parts of a length back in third at the line,

After Earls winning rider Gary Carroll was completing a double as was winning trainer Gavin Cromwell who said: “She was off the bridle the whole way and Gary earned his riding fee.

“She stuck at it well, she's still very green but she stayed well. Hopefully she can improve away as she's still weak and raw.”
