Roe And Co

The run of form tells a clear story. Starting from the most recent race and reading backwards — a blank, then three wins on the bounce, then a third place, then a fourth — you can see a horse that hit a rich vein and only just dropped out of it. That sequence of three consecutive wins, beginning at Chepstow in November 2025 and culminating at Leicester in December, is the kind of form that makes a horse one to watch when it returns. It has been off the track for 77 days now, a short break rather than a long absence, so the sharpness should still be there.

Much of the credit for that purple patch belongs to jockey Joe Anderson, who has ridden Roe And Co in six of its eight races and won three of them — a win rate of exactly 50%, which is remarkable. That level of familiarity between horse and rider matters; Anderson clearly knows how to get the best out of this one, and the partnership looks like a genuine strength.

Behind the scenes, the operation is in capable hands. Trainer Jamie Snowden runs a yard out of Lambourn in Berkshire — one of the heartlands of British racing — and has sent out 82 winners already this season, which marks it as a busy, well-run stable rather than a small outfit getting lucky. Roe And Co typically competes at Class 4 level, the fourth tier of British racing, and has won 2 of 5 races at that grade. That 40% win rate at its natural level means this horse is competitive, not just making up the numbers. When it reappears, it will arrive as something worth watching.
