"It's the Ebor for him, I would think. Then we'll see after that..."
Jim Goldie has the Ebor Handicap as the target for Icon Dream after the five-year-old finished a close third in the John Smith's Northumberland Plate...
The Glasgow trainer is hoping the prestigious staying handicap at York on August 25 might lead to even greater things for the Sadler's Wells gelding.
"It's the Ebor for him, I would think. Then we'll see after that," said Goldie.
"He's rated 100 and we'll play it just one game at a time.
"We're just keeping him to selected races with him fresh and well and hopefully we'll get a pay day.
"If you win the Ebor, you get an invitation to the Melbourne Cup provided you get rated high enough. It's a tough race that one and is a Group One handicap."
Icon Dream is available to back in the Ebor market, with the likes of Simenon, High Jinx and Mount Athos all currently on the exchange.
