Roach Power

The highlight of his career so far came on 4 October 2025, when he won a Class 2 race at Ascot — one of the top races in Britain, at one of its most famous tracks. For a horse who typically competes at Class 4 level, where he has won just 1 race from 14 attempts (a 7% win rate, or roughly 1 in every 14), stepping up and delivering at that level is genuinely significant. It suggests there is more quality here than his day-to-day results might indicate.

His most regular jockey is David Allan, who has ridden him in 10 races and ridden him to 2 wins — a 20% win rate, or 1 in every 5 rides together. That kind of familiarity matters; a jockey who knows how a horse thinks and responds can make a real difference on race day. Trainer Michael Wigham, who runs his operation out of Newmarket in Suffolk, has spoken about Roach Power's versatility, noting that while he has won over seven furlongs, his natural speed makes him equally dangerous over the shorter six-furlong trip. A horse that can adapt its game is always a useful weapon. Wigham's yard has hit the ground running this season, sending out 12 winners already.

Roach Power's recent form reads as a little mixed — in his last six races he has won twice but also finished as far back as 19th — which tells you he is the kind of horse who picks his moments. He raced just one day ago and remains very much in active campaign. He first won back in August 2022 at Ripon, so he has been a consistent part of the racing landscape for three years now. With an Ascot Class 2 win already banked this season and another victory at Newmarket in October 2025, the best chapters of this story may not be written yet.
