Chance Another One

The partnership with jockey Donagh Meyler is the most striking number in the file. In 8 races together, they have won 3 times — that is a win rate of 38%, or almost 2 in every 5 races as a pair. For context, a top jump jockey might win 1 in 4 rides in a good season. When Meyler is in the saddle, Chance Another One becomes a very different proposition, and any race where the two are reunited is worth paying close attention to.

Ground conditions tell a clear story too. On normal ground, this horse has won 3 of just 4 races — a remarkable 75% record. Three wins from four tries on any surface would be exceptional; doing it on one specific type of ground suggests the horse is built for those conditions and visibly relaxes when they arrive. Wet or fast ground, by contrast, seems to dull the edge. Keeping an eye on the forecast before its next run is not just sensible — it is practically essential.

Trainer Emmet Mullins, operating out of Bagenalstown in Co. Carlow, has had a productive season with 31 winners on the board, which tells you this is a yard with horses in form and a team that knows how to place them well. The most recent win came at Kempton Park on 24 November 2025, which is a long way from Carlow both geographically and in terms of racing culture — yet Chance Another One delivered there all the same. The first career win came at Ballinrobe in July of the same year, meaning both victories arrived within a five-month window when everything clicked.

Recent form reads 4-11-12-4-1-9 — a bit of a rollercoaster, with two encouraging placed runs sandwiched around some difficult days. The horse raced just yesterday, so the yard will be watching recovery closely. But on its best days, on normal ground, with Meyler aboard, Chance Another One is a genuine contender rather than a hopeful participant.
