Trained by Jane Chapple-Hyam out of her base in Dalham, Suffolk, Raging Raj is part of a yard that has sent out 25 winners already this season — a team clearly in good shape and confident in how they place their horses. That matters, because placing a horse at the right level is an art. At Class 6, the entry-level tier of British racing, Raging Raj has been almost unbeatable: 2 wins from just 3 races at that level, a hit rate of 67%. Put simply, when the team have dropped this horse into the right spot, it has delivered.
The wins came in quick succession last autumn — first at Kempton Park on 19 November 2025, then at Southwell nine days later on 28 November. Back-to-back wins like that, over two different tracks, suggest a horse that was in a real purple patch rather than just getting lucky once. Since then, the form has been patchier — a finishing position of 11 last time out is the kind of run you would rather forget — though the horse has managed a second place in its most recent completed effort, which hints at a return to form.
What makes Raging Raj worth watching is that last run was just one day ago, meaning this is a horse very much in the thick of a busy campaign. Three-year-olds often improve significantly as the season goes on, and with a yard in confident form and a horse that has already shown it can win at this level, another victory would not be a surprise at all. Whether it can replicate those back-to-back wins of last autumn is the question — but the foundation is there.
