Roger Henry

His two wins came at Chelmsford in April 2024 and then at Beverley in July 2024, and that second victory is now nearly two years in the rear-view mirror. The recent form — 6-5-9-3-4-3, reading from most recent back — shows a horse that keeps threatening without quite delivering. Those two third-place finishes suggest he's competitive, but something has kept the winner's enclosure at arm's length across his last six outings.

Where Roger Henry looks most dangerous is at distances between a mile and a furlong and a mile and two furlongs. He's won 1 from 4 races at those trips — a 25% win rate, or one in every four — which is genuinely solid and suggests that when conditions line up right, he's a real factor in the race. He also tends to operate at the lower end of the class spectrum, and at that level he's won 2 from 5 races, which is an impressive 40%, or two in every five. That's not a horse making up the numbers — that's a horse that belongs in those races and knows how to win them.

He raced just yesterday, which means the yard are keeping him busy and actively looking for the right opportunity to end that winless run. At his best trip, at his best level, Roger Henry is the kind of horse a knowledgeable racegoer would have quietly circled on their card.
