Based at Rose Cottage, in the village of Dalham, West Suffolk, less than six miles from the centre of Newmarket, Jane Chapple-Hyam is, of course, the ex-wife of Derby-winning trainer Peter Chapple-Hyam. However, since taking out a training licence in her own right in 2005, she has saddled no fewer than a dozen Group race winners at home and abroad.

The first of them was the juvenile Exceed And Excel colt Klammer, who, in October 2010, won the Group 3 Horris Hill Stakes at Newbury. Her best horse so far, though, was the New Bay filly Saffron Beach, who finished runner-up in the 2021 1,000 Guineas, but gained compensation when reversing the Guineas form with Mother Earth in the Sun Chariot Stakes, over the same course and distance, the following October. In August 2022, as a four-year-old, Saffron Beach also justified favouritism in the Prix Rothschild at Deauville to give Chapple-Hyam her second Group 1 win.

Chapple-Hyam enjoyed her most successful season, numerically, in 2021, when she saddled 34 winners from 242 runners, at a strike rate of 14%. She hasn’t quite hit the same heights since, at least in terms of numbers, but her seasonal tally of 22 winners in 2023 contributed towards £639,519 in prize money, making it the most profitable campaign of her career so far.
