Dandyman Dan
Dandyman Dan walked into its first race at Bath just this week and walked out a winner — a perfect record so far, and about as clean a start to a racing career as you can get. The two-year-old has raced once, won once, and there is nothing more to say about its form because there is nothing more to know yet. But a debut win is no small thing. Most young horses need time to figure out what racing is all about, so a horse that wins first time out has already shown it is a step ahead of the crowd.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
Behind the horse is trainer David Evans, based at Pandy in Monmouthshire. Evans is having a productive season — 37 winners already sent out from his yard, which tells you this is an operation that knows how to get horses ready to perform. A trainer who is firing in winners at that rate tends to know exactly when a horse is ready to run, which makes Dandyman Dan's debut victory feel all the more deliberate rather than lucky.
It is early days, and one race tells you only so much. But a two-year-old that wins on its first outing, trained by someone clearly in fine form this season, is exactly the kind of horse worth keeping an eye on as the summer unfolds.
