Dawn Flame
Dawn Flame broke through with a win at Dundalk seven months ago, but has struggled to find the winner's enclosure since. The three-year-old has raced 15 times in total, winning just once and placing three times — a record that speaks to a horse still searching for its level. In the last six outings, there have been two third-place finishes and a fourth, but mostly the horse has come up empty, with a recent eighth-place run suggesting the current form is patchy at best.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
The encouraging detail lies in distance. When stepped up to races around a mile and a quarter, Dawn Flame has won 1 of 7 attempts — roughly 14 per cent of the time at that trip — which hints at a preference for a bit more ground. That win at Dundalk came over this sort of distance, and it remains the horse's best hope for returning to the winner's circle. Paul W Flynn's yard at Colehill has had a decent season with 22 winners already, so there is clear capability in the team. The horse is still actively racing, and at three years old there is room for improvement, though the long gap since that single victory suggests Dawn Flame may be approaching a crossroads. The recent form is not persuasive, but the distance profile offers a glimmer of hope that the yard might yet find the right race to unlock another win.
