Chalk Mountain

The real story, though, is Wolverhampton. The track sits like a goldmine in Chalk Mountain's record: he has won 3 of his 4 races there, a win rate that marks him out as a genuine course specialist. His first career win came at Wolverhampton on 25 April 2023, and he has barely been beaten since running there. It is the kind of record that sends experienced punters hunting for entries whenever the draws are announced for that venue. When jockey Rob Hornby is in the saddle—the rider who has partnered him most often—Chalk Mountain performs noticeably sharper, winning 6 of 27 rides together (22%), well ahead of his overall win rate.

What complicates the picture is his recent form. He hasn't won since Kempton Park on 20 May 2026, nearly five months ago, and his last six races tell a story of decline: two finishes outside the top three, sandwiched around some minor placings (top-3 finishes). He remains active and raced as recently as yesterday, but the form graph is flat. At Class 4 level, where he typically competes, he wins only 1 in 6 races (2 wins from 12). For a horse aged six with his record, that is unremarkable. Chalk Mountain was a useful sprinter with particular gifts on certain surfaces and tracks, but right now, he looks like a horse in need of either a layoff or a change of scenery to rediscover form.
