Rajaking
Rajaking is a 4-year-old horse that has put together a solid if unspectacular record of 3 wins and 7 places from 15 races, winning roughly 1 in every 5 times he races. He broke his duck at Chelmsford on 10 October 2024 and has since added two more victories, most recently at York eight weeks ago. That last win came on 24 July 2026, but his form has dipped since: in his past six races he has finished outside the placings twice, including a sixth place most recently, just over a day ago. He is trained by T. J. Kent at Newmarket, a yard that has already sent out 12 winners this season.Based on TrackLab's analysis

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
The interesting part of Rajaking's record lies in where he wins. At Class 4 level—the middle tier of racing—he has managed just 1 win from 6 races, a win rate of around 17 percent. That suggests he may be better suited to slightly easier company, and his other two victories came at tracks and conditions that clearly suited him. The York win in July shows he can still get the job done when things line up, but the recent form is a concern. Two runs outside the placings in his last six outings, combined with that sixth-place finish just yesterday, hint that he may be in a spell where he is struggling to find his rhythm. At four years old and still racing regularly, there is time for him to bounce back, but he will need a change of luck or a drop in class to become a consistent winner again.
