Impressive Dreams completes Heffernan/O'Brien brace Earlier successful in the Eyrefield Stakes with Grosvenor Square, Aidan O'Brien and Seamie Heffernan doubled-up with newcomer Ocean Of Dreams in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Maiden. A brother to 2017 Epsom Oaks third and Listed winner Alluringly, the Fastnet Rock bay was sent off a 9/2 chance. Settled in mid-division, he took closer order on the outer approaching the straight and swept to the front from the furlong pole, staying on strongly from there to score impressively by six-lengths. Returned the 3/1 favourite, Invention had to settle for second under Gavin Ryan for Donnacha O'Brien, while Fine Point (16/1) was another length-and-three-quarters back in third. "He’s a smashing type, a typical Fastnet Rock and comes from a good Galileo pedigree," Chris Armstrong, stable representative, commented. "He's been coming along nicely at home and was just ready to start today so he'll come on a lot fitness wise. It’s great to get a run into him for next year. "Seamus spoke very favourably of him and once he got him straightened up and balanced he let down very strongly. He's one to look forward to and will probably come back for a trial next year."
