Daneh Of Dandy

Trained by P Twomey out of Cashel in County Tipperary, Daneh Of Dandy is part of a yard that has been in serious form — 35 winners sent out this season is the kind of number that tells you the team know what they're doing and are pitching their horses in the right spots. A yard firing at that rate doesn't accidentally find two wins in Britain with a three-year-old; there's a plan at work.

The recent form string does tell a more complicated story, though. Reading it from most recent to oldest, the figures go 5-11-–-8-5-1, with that last number — the 1 — being the Thirsk win from August. Since then, the horse has been running into mid-field finishes, including an eleventh, which is the kind of result that raises questions. That said, Daneh Of Dandy has raced three times at the top level of British racing and hasn't won any of those, which suggests the horse is competitive at a solid level but perhaps hasn't yet found the very best version of itself at the highest tier. Crucially, the horse raced just one day ago, so remains very much in active training and mid-campaign.

At three years old, with a winning record already on the board and an active trainer behind it, there is plenty of reason to stay interested in what Daneh Of Dandy does next.
