Royal Rocket
Five races in, and Royal Rocket is still waiting for that first win. The five-year-old has finished in the places twice from five attempts but has yet to get its head in front, and the most recent run — just yesterday — ended in a seventh-place finish. For a horse whose name promises fireworks, the results so far have been more of a slow fuse.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
That said, there are faint signs of life buried in the recent form. A second and a third from the last five races shows Royal Rocket is at least mixing it with the competition on its day, rather than trailing home at the back of the field every time. Horses can take a while to click, and at five years old there is still time to find the right race.
The trainer is Emma Lavelle, who operates out of Ogbourne Maizey in Wiltshire — a yard that has been in sharp form this season, sending out 44 winners. That is the kind of operation that knows how to place a horse and get the best out of it, so Royal Rocket is in capable hands. The question is simply whether this particular horse can translate its placed efforts into an actual win before the season is out.
