Rhapsody
Rhapsody has won just twice in ten races, but what catches the eye is the timing of those victories and the consistency shown in recent months. The 4-year-old broke through at Great Yarmouth in October 2024, then waited a full year before striking again at York last September. That gap is long enough to wonder whether the horse had simply matured into its best form by that point, or whether the win at York represented a genuine turning point.Based on TrackLab's analysis

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
The recent form tells an encouraging story. Over the last six races, Rhapsody has finished in the placings five times — two wins, two second places, and a couple of fourth-place finishes mixed in. This is a horse that is running consistently well without quite being brilliant. With a 20% win rate across its career (2 wins from 10), Rhapsody is doing better than one might expect from a horse at this level, and the fact it is currently active and racing regularly suggests it remains sound and competitive.
William Haggas trains from Newmarket and has sent out 170 winners this season alone, so Rhapsody is in a yard with serious firepower and expertise. That kind of record suggests the horse is getting good attention and is part of a stable that knows how to spot and develop winners. At four years old, with recent wins on the board and consistent form over the past handful of races, Rhapsody looks like a horse that has found its level and knows how to win when the conditions suit.
