Raging Raj

Both wins came in a tight nine-day spell last winter. The first arrived at Kempton Park on 19 November 2025, followed by a second at Southwell on 28 November. Back-to-back wins at that stage of a young horse's development are worth noting — it suggested Raging Raj had found something, a rhythm or a confidence, that was clicking into place. The six months since have been quieter, with recent form reading 3-6-7 in the last three outings after those earlier peaks of 1-1-2. The horse has clearly had some less convincing days, but it has raced just yesterday, which means it is very much an active project.

Where Raging Raj looks most at home is over distances of 7 furlongs to a mile, winning 1 from 3 races at those trips — one in three, which is a strong return. And the level it has operated at most naturally is Class 6, the entry-level tier of British racing, where it has won 2 of 3 races — a remarkable two-thirds success rate. That tells you this horse is well-placed when it races at the right level and right distance.

Chapple-Hyam's yard at Dalham has sent out 25 winners this season, so this is a stable in form, and a three-year-old with a 20% win rate and proven back-to-back winning ability is exactly the sort of horse that benefits from being in an in-form operation. Raging Raj may not be a headline act yet, but it is a horse that has shown it knows how to win — and at its best trips and level, it wins more often than not.
