Dancingatdunraven made his debut a winning one when he took his five-year-old geldings’ maiden at Moig South in March. The scopey son of Mahler was ridden patiently by Derek O’Connor and made good progress over the final half a mile where took up the lead at the penultimate fence and soon held a strong advantage over his rivals. The Sam Curling-trained gelding found plenty under pressure and pulled clear to win by an impressive 20 lengths. Dancingatdunraven is a half-brother to a dual track winner as well as bring from the family of the former Cheltenham Gold cup winner, Bregawn. Having shown a nice blend of both speed and stamina, Dancingatdunraven looks like a gelding that can develop into a smart track performer that will have an exciting future inside the rails.
