The three-year-old is trained by Ed Dunlop at Newmarket, one of British racing's most famous training towns, and Dunlop's yard has been in sharp form this season with 36 winners already sent out. Chapman's Peak fits neatly into that picture — a horse beginning to show a clear profile and improving at exactly the right time. Its two wins both came at Kempton Park in October 2025, the second following just over a fortnight after the first, which tells you this was a horse hitting its stride rather than getting lucky once.
What makes the profile even more specific is the ground. Chapman's Peak has won 2 of its 4 races on wet or muddy conditions — a 50% win rate when the rain has been down. On faster ground, those wins simply have not come. That is genuinely useful information: when Kempton is soft and Chapman's Peak is declared to run, you are looking at a horse that has answered every question put to it in those circumstances.
The overall career record — 2 wins and 2 places from 7 races, with 29% of races won, roughly 1 in every 3 — is strong for a young horse still learning the job. At Class 5 level, where most of these races have been run, it has won 2 from 3, a remarkable 67% win rate. The recent form reads 8-7-1-1 going back through the last four runs, showing a horse that went from struggling to find form to winning back-to-back. It raced just yesterday, so it is very much a live, active prospect — and with the autumn rain season approaching, Kempton and soft ground may come calling again sooner than you think.
