The 2026 Chesham looks like another edition dominated by unbeaten improvers. Aix La Chapelle possesses the strongest historical profile for the race and should improve considerably from his Curragh debut. Revels may be the tactical play, benefiting from stall 2 and a race setup likely to suit his finishing style. Aperoll appeals as the value alternative, particularly with the filly allowance and a favourable draw.
If looking beyond the result, South Dakota, Sydney Carton, and Whispering Moon are the three horses I’d most want in a notebook for later in the season
