Roman Secret

The key to Roman Secret is simple: go to Wolverhampton. At that track, this horse has won 2 of just 4 races — that is a 50% win rate at a venue where most horses are happy to finish in the frame at all. For context, its overall win rate across all tracks is 9%. Wolverhampton does not just suit Roman Secret; it transforms the horse entirely. The most recent win came there on 17 April 2026 — just two weeks ago — so this is not some distant memory. Roman Secret is a horse in form, right now.

The preferred conditions are equally specific. On normal ground, Roman Secret wins 2 from 7 races (29%), and at a distance of a mile and a furlong to a mile and two furlongs, the record reads 2 wins from 6 races (33%). Both of those numbers are genuinely good. The horse knows what it likes — a fair surface, a middle-distance test, and ideally the familiar surroundings of Wolverhampton — and when it gets all three, it delivers.

The partnership with jockey Alec Voikhansky is the one puzzle worth noting. In seven races together, they have yet to win. That is not necessarily a crisis, but it does suggest the combination has not quite clicked, even as Roman Secret has been finding the winner's enclosure with other riders aboard.

Trained by Kevin Frost at Averham Park in Nottinghamshire — a yard that has already sent out 23 winners this season, showing it knows how to get horses ready to perform — Roman Secret last raced just yesterday and is clearly being kept busy. The recent form figures of 6-1-7-6-3-2 show a horse that has been knocking on the door more often than not. A second place last time out, a win the time before that. If Roman Secret turns up at Wolverhampton again, on a decent surface, at its best distance, it would be brave to look past it.
