Is it just me, or has anybody else found it necessary to take Racing League results with a very large pinch of salt ?
For example : horses suddenly winning class 3 handicaps quite out of the blue, having never got anywhere near winning one previously, whose form then reverts to normal, i.e. henceforward are class 4 handicappers at best.

best to take anything gambling orientated with a pinch of salt.

I shall now bug you, WP, with every single example I find henceforward ( especially fond of that word today...), and challenge you to find counter examples, all in the name of objective research. 
I mean did you miss Spirit Dancer following up his win a RL race by bolting up in a G3...and wait until I tell you about Zoulu Chief!!
I will also add that I noticed it was the class 3 handicaps that seemed to throw up the oddest results ; haven't noticed many class 2 handicap anomalies, so assuming those contests are fewer in number since prize money is higher ( £51K ).
Two class 3 handicaps at Southwell tonight, so it'll be interesting to see if they're won by horses never having shown the capacity to win won previously.
I shall keep my powder dry and watch with interest.

Ah, ok, I willingly doff my hat to you, WP.
My data sample is simply the one from my own noggin !
But, it's stood me well so far.
Let's see what happens tonight.
Meantime, I'm off to research yours !

SPIRIT DANCER doesn't count !!
It'd had already won a class 2 handicap when winning the class 2 RL race.
I'm talking about horses who win RL races above what seems to be their class ceiling who then revert back to that very class ceiling.

OK Bluebook. If you've spotted an Anomaly as you say, I've not done the required research on this subject.
