Roman Dragon

What makes Roman Dragon genuinely interesting is how he has punched above his weight. He won a top-tier Class 1 race at Chester in August 2025 and a Class 2 race there in May 2025, yet he typically runs in Class 2 company where he wins only one in 16. His recent form reads 2-7-6-9-24-11 across his last six races, and he has not won in that stretch, but his last victory came just four months ago at Chester on 7 May 2026. He is active and still racing. Palmer has mentioned that Roman Dragon's official rating has crept higher than any mark off which he has won before, making those victories at the top level all the more noteworthy — and he came close several times last summer, suggesting he has genuine quality lurking beneath the surface. With Hayley Turner in the saddle, he wins roughly one in three races (two wins from six). The Chester specialist's love for the track and his willingness to rise to the occasion there have become his defining trait, worth far more than the bare statistics suggest.
