Khrisma

There is something quietly impressive about a horse that arrives from France with a reputation for being difficult to settle, then proceeds to prove everyone wrong the moment it gets to a racecourse. Khrisma is a 6-year-old trained by Nicky Henderson at his powerful Upper Lambourn yard — a stable that has sent out 85 winners already this season — and she has built a tidy record of 2 wins and 5 places from 9 races, winning roughly 1 in every 4 and finishing in the frame more often than not.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

Henderson flagged early on that Khrisma pulled hard at home and needed to learn to switch off. What made her stand out was that the moment she got to a racecourse, the problem largely disappeared. She finished third at Windsor and second at Punchestown, and her trainer noted that in Ireland she travelled through the race like a horse of genuine ability before being beaten by a well-fancied rival. That kind of experience — running creditably against strong company — tends to do a horse good, and it seems to have done exactly that for Khrisma.

Her first win came at Uttoxeter in November 2025, and jockey Nico de Boinville was almost casual about it afterwards, describing the performance as "only hacking around" and pointing to how much she had matured. That pairing has become a productive one — de Boinville has ridden her in 5 of her 9 races and won 2 of them, a win rate of 40%, which is a strong return by any measure. Her most recent win came at Market Rasen in February 2026, and she has raced just once since, keeping herself in the conversation as an active and consistent performer.

Most of her races have come at Class 4 level — the solid middle tier of the sport, not the highest company but competitive enough to be meaningful — and she has won 2 of her 5 races at that level, again at 40%. She is the kind of horse who shows up, finishes close, and wins her share. For a yard as busy and well-stocked as Henderson's, that reliability counts for a lot.
