King Roly

What makes King Roly stand out is his dominance at Worcester. Winning three times from just five attempts there is not luck—it is the mark of a horse that handles the track's particular demands better than most. He also shows promise in Class 3 company, where he has won 2 of his 6 races, suggesting he is competitive at the right level. Trainer Mickey Bowen, based in Haverfordwest, has spoken enthusiastically about King Roly's prospects as a chaser, noting that his jumping at home has been impressive and that he has the stamina to stay all day. Bowen sees him as the type of horse suited to summer long-distance racing and has mentioned entries at Perth and possibly the Summer Plate at Market Rasen as targets. James Bowen, his regular jockey, has ridden him 10 times and won 3 of those races—a 30% win rate that suggests a genuine understanding between horse and rider. With two wins from his last six races and active form right now, King Roly remains a genuine player in the mid-level racing scene.
