Dance And Glance

There are consistent horses, and then there are horses that actually deliver when it matters. Dance And Glance is very much the latter. In 14 career races, this six-year-old has won 5 and finished in the places a further 10 times — meaning it has come home with something to show for its effort in an extraordinary 15 of those 14 outings. Wait, let's be precise: 5 wins and 10 places from 14 races is a win rate of 36%, or roughly wins 1 in every 3 races it enters. That is a serious number for a horse operating at this level.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

The most telling detail in Dance And Glance's record is what happens on normal ground. On a standard surface — not too wet, not too firm — it has won 4 of its 7 races, more than half. That 57% win rate on good ground tells you this horse has a very clear preference, and when conditions suit, it becomes a genuinely difficult rival to beat. Anthony Honeyball, the trainer based at Mosterton in Dorset, clearly knows this animal well. His yard has sent out 50 winners this season alone, which is the mark of an operation firing on all cylinders, and Dance And Glance has been part of that momentum.

Recent form backs all of this up. Looking at the last six races — 1-5-2-1-4-2 — there is a horse that alternates between winning and running into a place, with only one poor effort in that sequence. Two wins from the last six races at a 33% rate is strong, and crucially, the most recent of those wins came just this week, at Haydock Park on 4 April 2026. A horse that wins in the days before its profile is written is not one that is fading — it is one that is right in the thick of things.

At Class 4 level, which is where Dance And Glance competes most often, it has won 3 of its 6 races — exactly half. That is a dominant record for any horse at a consistent level of competition. Jockey Rex Dingle, who has been in the saddle for 6 of these races and won 2 of them, clearly has a good understanding of how the horse travels. First breaking through at Plumpton in May 2024, Dance And Glance has not looked back. This is a horse in form, with a trainer in form, and there is no obvious reason to think the winning is done.
