Moon Chime

The recent form makes for encouraging reading. In the last six races, Moon Chime has won twice and finished second once — so three of those six runs have produced a place finish or better. The sequence reads 6-1-1-4-9-6 going back in time, meaning the two most recent runs produced back-to-back victories. That kind of momentum is exactly what owners and trainers hope to build on. The most recent of those wins came at Kempton Park on 27 May — eight weeks ago — following on from an earlier success at Worcester back in May 2023, where the career win tally first got off the ground.

Moon Chime is trained by the partnership of David Killahena and Graeme McPherson, based at Stow-on-the-Wold in Gloucestershire. Their yard has sent out 18 winners already this season, which puts them firmly in productive form as a training operation. When a yard is firing like that, horses in their care tend to arrive at the track fit and ready — and Moon Chime's recent back-to-back wins suggest this one is no exception.

The bulk of Moon Chime's racing has come at Class 4 level, which sits in the middle tier of British racing — competitive enough to mean something, without being the very top of the sport. At that level, the record reads 2 wins from 6 races, a win rate of 33%, or roughly 1 in every 3 attempts. That is a solid return and suggests Moon Chime belongs at this level rather than simply passing through it. At eight years old and still racing regularly, this is a horse that clearly enjoys the job — and with back-to-back wins on the board, there is every reason to think there are more to come.
