"Young Thoroughbred trained by Crisford appears poised for a challenge in the Lowther Stakes, having navigated difficulties in training"
Dandana, the 600,000gns yearling purchase trained by Simon and Ed Crisford, claimed her second win in as many races at Kempton on a recent outing. The filly, who is a daughter of Blue Point, showed some quirky behaviour during the race but managed to hold off her competitors to secure a half-length victory.
In her previous race, Dandana had carried a penalty for her debut win at Kempton. This time around, she was competing in her first turf start and managed to outperform Pearl Fortune and Rogue Temptation in a bunched finish.
The victory came as no surprise to some, as Dandana was a general 25-1 shot for the Group 2 Sky Bet Lowther Stakes at York on August 21. However, as of the latest search results, no specific odds for Dandana in the upcoming race are available. It's advisable to check official bookmakers or betting platforms closer to the race date, as odds can fluctuate frequently based on betting market activity and latest form reports.
Meanwhile, another notable performance came from Goyard, who won the 5f novice stakes under jockey David O'Meara and rider Danny Tudhope. Goyard was the favourite of the race and managed to secure a convincing win by two and a quarter lengths.
Tudhope was also in the winner's circle earlier in the day, having won the Group 1 Prix Rothschild on Sunday. In a separate event, Gary and Josh Moore completed a double with their respective horses.

As the racing season continues, keep an eye on Dandana as she prepares for the Group 2 Sky Bet Lowther Stakes at York. Her quirky behaviour during races may prove to be a challenge, but her determination and fighting spirit are undeniable.
After her impressive victory at Kempton, Dandana is set to compete in the Group 2 Sky Bet Lowther Stakes at York. Despite her unpredictable behavior, her strong performance in both sports and horse-racing events suggests she could be a contender in the upcoming turf race.
As the Group 2 Sky Bet Lowther Stakes approaches, it would be interesting to see if Dandana can maintain her winning streak and outperform her competitors in the field of horse-racing.
