Raging Raj

The most striking thing about this horse is how much stronger it becomes at Class 6 level. In races at that grade, Raging Raj has won 2 of its 3 starts, a win rate of 67 percent. That's the kind of dominance that suggests it belongs in that company and may struggle when stepped up against tougher fields. Its first career win came at Kempton Park on 19 November 2025, and most recently it won at Thirsk on 14 August 2026—two months ago now. Looking at the last six races, there's a mixed picture: a 16th place run, then wins at 6th and 1st, followed by 2nd, 5th, and another win. That's 2 wins from the last 6 races, which shows it is capable of finding the winner's circle regularly, though the form either side of those wins has been uneven.

Trainer Michael Herrington, based at Willoughton in Lincolnshire, runs a yard that has sent out 33 winners this season, so the infrastructure is there for the horse to thrive. Raging Raj raced just a day ago and is currently active, which means it could line up again soon. If the yard can pitch it back into Class 6 company where it genuinely excels, there's a decent chance of another win in the near future. The question now is whether it can climb higher or whether Class 6 is its ceiling.
