Arundel

Arundel is a 4-year-old with the kind of racing record that suggests consistency matters more than flash. Two wins from 12 races is not a sparkling return, but what catches the eye is where those wins have come: at distances between a mile and three furlongs and a mile and four furlongs, Arundel has won 2 of 6 races—roughly one in three—which is a genuinely useful win rate at any level. The horse clearly finds its comfort zone at that stretch of ground, and Ed Dunlop's Newmarket yard, which has already saddled 39 winners this season, has clearly worked out what makes Arundel tick.Based on TrackLab's analysis

TrackLab's detailed breakdown

The second win came just this week at Kempton Park on 23 September, a race at that preferred distance that looks to be Arundel's sweet spot. Before that, recent form has been respectable without being dramatic: third, fifth, fourth, second, and second across the previous five runs. That pair of second-place finishes suggests the horse is competitive in the races it enters, even when not quite finding the winner's enclosure. At the level Arundel typically races—Class 5 company—a win rate of 1 in 6 is solid if unspectacular, the kind of record that keeps a horse in regular work without making headlines.

With just one day passed since its last race, Arundel is clearly an active runner in the yard's hands. The first win came at Pontefract back in May 2025, and the path from there to two wins in 12 starts has been a gradual climb rather than a meteoric rise. But for a horse that has found its distance and a trainer who knows how to use it, that recent Kempton success suggests Arundel remains a genuine threat whenever the ground, the distance, and the opposition align.
