Last Dandelion
Last Dandelion is a two-year-old still searching for its first victory after nine races, though it has shown enough promise to finish in the placings three times. The horse is trained by
Stuart Williams at Newmarket, a yard that has been firing on all cylinders this season with 67 winners already on the board.

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
The recent form tells a story of inconsistency. Last Dandelion has run six times in its last outing, finishing second and third twice each, but sandwiched between those placed efforts are some tougher days — an 11th, two fifth-place finishes, and another 11th most recently, just a day ago. For a young horse still learning its trade, this up-and-down pattern is not unusual. The second-place finishes suggest it has the ability to run competitively against its rivals, yet it has not quite managed to find the winner's circle. Some horses take time to click at this stage of their careers, and Last Dandelion appears to be one of them.
Williams' operation is clearly a strong one, so the horse is in a capable yard. Whether Last Dandelion will break through remains to be seen, but the placings give enough reason to think it is not out of the picture yet.
