His recent form tells an interesting story. A fourth, third, and then a blank run are sandwiched between a tenth, seventh, and another fourth — numbers that paint a picture of a horse hovering just outside the places more often than not. The third is the standout, a moment where Roi Du Roume showed he could mix it with better horses, even if he could not quite finish the job. At Class 4 level, where most of his racing has come, he has run three times without winning — a 0 from 3 record that suggests this grade is about right for him, even if he has not yet cracked it.
What gives the yard genuine cause for optimism is who is behind this horse. Mickey Bowen, training out of Haverfordwest in Pembrokeshire, has sent out 47 winners already this season — a serious operation for any stable, let alone one based in west Wales. A trainer producing that kind of volume knows how to place a horse and how to get one fit and ready. When Bowen finds the right opportunity for Roi Du Roume, it would be unwise to dismiss the chance entirely. The first win, when it comes, may well come out of nowhere.
