Daydreama

Daydreama is a 3-year-old with a modest record so far, winning twice from 18 races and finishing in the top 3 another seven times. That works out to a win rate of roughly 1 in 9 races — respectable enough at a certain level, but nothing that suggests a star in the making. What stands out, though, is the shape of the horse's recent form: it has won nothing in its last six outings, and the gaps between finishes in the top 3 are widening. A third-place finish came four runs ago, followed by fourteenth, twelfth, twelfth again, and fourteenth most recently, just a day or so back. That is the sort of trajectory that worries trainers.Based on TrackLab's analysis

TrackLab's detailed breakdown

There are, however, some genuine strengths buried in the record. At distances between five and six and a half furlongs, Daydreama has won twice from four races — a 50% win rate that is genuinely striking. The horse also thrives on normal ground, winning 2 of 7 races on those conditions, a rate of roughly 29%. Both of those wins came in August 2025, the first at Pontefract in July and the second at Carlisle just a few weeks later. That suggests a horse that, on the right day and over the right distance, has genuine pace. The partnership with jockey David Allan is particularly fruitful: they have won twice from six races together, a 33% win rate that is far above the baseline. Tim Easterby's Great Habton yard has been prolific this season with 128 winners, so there is no shortage of form or expertise behind the horse. The challenge for Daydreama now is simply to get back to those winning conditions and rediscover the form that made it competitive in the summer.
