Dream Shadow
Dream Shadow has found her rhythm at lower levels, where she wins roughly once every three races. The seven-year-old has picked up 4 wins from 12 races, a 33% win rate that speaks to genuine ability at the right track and distance — though her record in Class 1 races tells a different story. She has contested five of those top-tier contests without a win, suggesting her real sweet spot lies outside the elite tier.Based on TrackLab's analysis

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
What stands out is the partnership between Dream Shadow and Jonathan Burke. When Burke is in the saddle, the horse wins at a much sharper rate: 4 wins from 9 races together, or roughly 44% of the time. That is a significant jump from her overall figures and hints at a real connection between horse and rider. Their last victory came at Haydock Park on 15 April 2026, now six months in the past.
Recent form shows the horse is still doing the job. She has won twice in her last six races, finished third once, and fourth once, with two races where she did not finish in the top four. She raced just a day ago, so Dream Shadow remains very much active and in work. Fergal O'Brien's Withington yard has been prolific this season with 90 winners to their name, and they clearly know how to keep Dream Shadow competitive at his level. She arrived at the winner's circle for the first time at Uttoxeter back in October 2024, and while six months without a win is a gap, her recent top-three finishes suggest she has not lost her edge.
