'I bought her dreaming of the Oaks' - progressive Five Stars exciting owner

The Classic dream is alive for owner Markus Graff, who rode as an amateur in Aldaniti's Grand National in 1981, and cannot wait to see his promising filly Five Stars in action.

Trained by Mark Johnston, Five Stars made a winning debut over a mile at Yarmouth in August and followed up recently under Joe Fanning in a 7½f novice stakes at Beverley.

Listed events at Pontefract and Newmarket are under consideration for the daughter of Sea The Stars, whose half-sister Loving Dream won the Ribblesdale at Royal Ascot in the summer.
