Edgewell

That first win came at Downpatrick in October 2024, and Nick Scholfield, who trains Edgewell out of his yard in Lambourn, was candid about what it meant. The race was not the strongest, and the twisty, unpredictable nature of Downpatrick — a track that can suit quirky horses who don't always travel smoothly — may have helped bring the best out of him. The yard was hopeful that would unlock something, and to some extent it has. Edgewell has added three more wins since, including a victory at Hereford in March 2026, making it a productive spell after years of near-misses.

His record tells the story of a horse operating at the lower end of the sport — Class 5, which is roughly the entry level of British racing. He has won 2 of his 16 races at that level, around 1 in every 8, which isn't a dominant record but is enough to keep him competitive. With 4 wins and 10 places from 30 races overall, he has finished in the top three roughly 47% of the time — so while the wins don't come every week, he is rarely far away.

Ross Chapman rides him most often, partnering Edgewell in 8 of his races for 1 win together — winning roughly 1 in 8, or 12%. That is a functional rather than sparkling combination on paper, though the bond between a regular jockey and a horse that needs handling carefully is often worth more than the numbers suggest. Scholfield's yard has sent out 19 winners this season, so there is form in the stable, and Edgewell raced just yesterday, meaning he is clearly being kept busy while he is in form.

He is not a headline act. But a horse who was written off and has found a way to keep winning at 8 years old is, in its own way, a better story than most.
