Regal Glory

Regal Glory won at Beverley just three weeks ago, on 16 June 2026 — and has raced again since, finishing fourth just yesterday. That is not the schedule of a horse being wrapped in cotton wool. Roger Fell's yard in Nawton, North Yorkshire, keeps its horses busy, and Fell himself has sent out 25 winners already this season, which suggests a trainer who knows how to place a horse well and keep it ticking over. The Beverley win was Regal Glory's second career victory, the first having come at Lingfield Park back in December 2022 — a gap of roughly three and a half years between wins that tells its own story about how competitive life is at this level.

That level is mostly Class 6, the lowest tier of British racing, where Regal Glory has run 29 of its 43 races and won just 1 of them — a win rate of around 1 in 29, or about 3%. That sounds harsh, but it is worth understanding what Class 6 racing actually means: these are large, competitive fields full of horses all looking for a race they can win. Being placed nine times in 43 attempts shows Regal Glory is consistently in the conversation, even when it cannot quite force its way to the front. The horse does its best work over a mile and a furlong to a mile and two furlongs, winning 1 from 8 at those distances — a 12% rate, which is meaningfully better than its overall record and suggests Fell targets those trips deliberately.

Luke Morris has been in the saddle for 10 of those 43 races, winning once together. Recent form — fourth, first, fourth, eleventh, fourth, second — shows a horse that is patchy but not out of ideas. The win and the second place in that sequence are exactly the kind of flickers that keep the yard patient. Regal Glory will not be troubling the big occasions, but it is still racing, still placing, and still winning the odd one. At this level, that counts for something.
