Chapel Island
Chapel Island has now run 13 times without finding the winner's enclosure, though the three-year-old has shown enough promise to finish in the frame twice. Most recently, the horse finished eleventh at what appears to have been a competitive outing just a day ago, but the run before that brought a seventh-place finish, suggesting the form is patchy and inconsistent. Over the last six races, Chapel Island has had two decent efforts — a third and a fourth — sandwiched between some disappointing days, which tells the story of a horse that occasionally gets it together but struggles to maintain that level.Based on TrackLab's analysis

🔍 Full analysis
Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
Trained by A Oliver at Caledon in Co Tyrone, Chapel Island runs in a yard that has been winning races this season — the trainer has sent out 18 winners so far — so there is clearly competence on the ground and horses capable of performing. The fact that Chapel Island has not managed to break through despite being given opportunities suggests the horse may be operating at a level above what is realistic right now, or simply lacks the natural speed needed to succeed on the track. With a blank record over 13 starts, this is a horse that punters have learned to avoid, and finding the light at the end of the tunnel will require either a drop in class or a significant improvement in consistency.
