Royal Power

The horse's best performance comes at longer distances between a mile and six furlongs and two miles, where he has won two of three races—a 67% win rate over that stretch that stands out sharply against his overall record. This is the distance where Royal Power seems to find his rhythm. His most recent victory came in February 2026 at Abu Dhabi, nearly eight months ago, suggesting that while he retains his ability, he has not yet rediscovered the winning formula consistently enough to rack up victories at regular intervals.

Charlie Appleby's Newmarket yard has sent out 121 winners this season, so the horse is in a strong training operation, and his association with jockey William Buick has been productive—the pair have won two races from five rides together, a 40% win rate that outpaces his overall record. This suggests there may be a rhythm between them that works in Royal Power's favour when circumstances align. The fact that he raced only a day ago indicates he remains an active competitor, though the gap since his last win suggests he will need to rediscover the winning habit sooner rather than later if he is to fulfil the potential his better performances hint at.
