Recent form makes for grim reading. In his last six races, he has finished second, sixth, second again, fourth, fourth, and third. That second-place finish two races ago was his most recent hint that he might be close, but sixth place came right before it, which suggests inconsistency. He raced just yesterday, so he is still an active part of his trainer Mickey Bowen's plans at the Haverfordwest yard.
When Roi Du Roume does compete in top-tier Class 4 races — where the better horses gather — he has won none of his three attempts there. He seems to be running out of opportunities to break his duck. His trainer has had a strong season with 52 winners overall, so the yard knows how to get horses to the line, but this one remains stubbornly reluctant to oblige. At this stage, Roi Du Roume looks like a horse running to fill a race card rather than one anyone expects to trouble the scoreboard.
