Rogue Encore

The most recent of those wins came on 28 September 2025, roughly six months ago, and the horse raced again just yesterday, so it is very much in active training and being aimed at opportunities. The yard is run by Peter Chapple-Hyam out of Newmarket in Suffolk — one of British racing's most storied training bases — and the team has sent out 7 winners already this season, suggesting things are ticking along nicely. Chapple-Hyam clearly knows what he has on his hands with this horse.

Jockey Luke Morris has been the key partnership here. He has ridden Rogue Encore in 7 races and won 2 of them — that is a win rate of 29%, or just under 1 in every 3 rides together, which is well above the horse's overall average of 15% across all riders. When Morris is in the saddle at Newcastle, this is a combination worth watching. The horse also does its best work on normal ground conditions, winning 3 of its 10 races on a standard surface — again, that one-in-three figure appearing, and it suggests Rogue Encore needs things to be just right to produce its best.

Recent form tells a more complicated story. The last six results read 14th, 9th, 10th, 5th, 1st, 7th — that win three runs back now looks like a high point in an otherwise difficult patch. The horse has been well beaten in its three most recent outings. Whether that is a temporary dip in form or something the trainer is working through, only time will tell. But with a course record that borders on extraordinary and a trusted jockey partnership already established, Rogue Encore is the kind of horse that makes it very hard to write off entirely — especially with another trip to Newcastle potentially on the horizon.
