Dandana

With two victories from eight races, Dandana wins roughly one in every four outings, which is respectable enough at this level. The fact that it has picked up three places outside the top three finishes shows it has some ability to get into the frame, yet something has gone missing since that double in the summer of 2025. Recent runs have been erratic, with two poor efforts (11th and 12th) mixed in among more competitive displays. The yard training Dandana — Simon & Ed Crisford's Newmarket operation — has been prolific this season with 78 winners, so there is clearly good horsemanship behind the scenes. The question now is whether Dandana can rediscover the form that produced those two wins and bounce back into a winning sequence. At three years old, there is still time for a turnaround, though the clock is ticking and consistency remains elusive.
