Roman Crystal
Roman Crystal is a two-year-old still finding its feet on the track, having won once from seven races so far. The horse broke through at Ayr in early August, but has struggled to repeat that success in recent weeks — across its last six races, it has finished third, sixth, first, third, fourth and fifth, which tells a story of a young runner who has yet to settle into a consistent rhythm. With only one win to show for 14 attempts, Roman Crystal is hardly dominating, but at this early stage of its racing life, inconsistency is fairly normal.Based on TrackLab's analysis

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
The colt races for the Easterby yard at Sheriff Hutton in North Yorkshire, one of the country's most established training operations. This season the yard has already sent out 55 winners, so Roman Crystal is part of a productive and experienced setup — the kind of place where a young horse has every chance to develop properly. That matters, because the gap between last winning 6 weeks ago and returning to the track just a day ago suggests the trainer is actively campaigning the horse and keeping it in work, rather than letting it idle. Roman Crystal has shown it can win a race, which is always the hardest part. The real question now is whether it can do so consistently.
