About
Cheshire Dancer is a 5yo gelding trained by H Palmer. Its sire is Phoenix Of Spain and its dam is Kristal Xenia. To date the horse has recorded six victories. Its biggest triumph came on 26 July 2025 at Ascot Park, where it collected $114,223.00 in the Longines Valiant Stakes. Punters have found it rewarding; backing the runner throughout its career would have yielded a 55% return on investment.
