Dream Jet

Brian Ellison's yard at Norton in North Yorkshire is clearly in good nick right now, having sent out 43 winners this season alone, and Dream Jet is a small but genuine part of that. The horse raced just yesterday, which tells you it is fit, active, and very much part of the yard's plans. Jockey Craig Nichol has become the trusted partner here, riding Dream Jet 13 times and winning 3 of them — that's a win rate of 23%, or almost 1 in every 4 rides together. When those two click, things tend to go right.

The clearest pattern in Dream Jet's record is what happens at Hexham, the tight, undulating track in Northumberland. Two wins from seven visits there is not a coincidence — it is a course that suits. The most recent of those came on 20 May 2025, just about a year ago, and it remains the last time Dream Jet has won. The recent form of 3-9-3-5-4-2 (with the most recent first) shows a horse knocking on the door without quite getting through it, but a second-place finish is not a horse in decline — it is a horse that is competitive and ready.

The other things that unlock Dream Jet are straightforward: normal ground and a trip of between a mile and six furlongs and two miles. On normal ground it has won 4 from 16 races, a 25% win rate, or 1 in 4. That is a meaningful number — it roughly doubles the overall win rate and tells you clearly that when conditions are right, this horse performs. Keep an eye on Dream Jet the next time Hexham comes around on a dry day, because that combination has a habit of producing something worth watching.
