The most telling number in his profile is the one attached to trainer P J Rothwell. Of his 56 career wins, 19 have come from 269 rides for that yard — again around 1 in every 14. When a jockey keeps getting booked by the same trainer at that kind of volume, it speaks to a genuine working relationship built on trust. Rothwell clearly sees Power Roche as a reliable, go-to rider, and that kind of stable backing is exactly what young jockeys need to develop their craft.
The one thing worth watching is the dip in form. Last year he was winning at 10% — 1 in every 10 races — and this season that has slipped to 7%, or 1 in 13. That's not a crisis, but it's a meaningful step back, and at this stage of a career the trajectory matters. Whether that's down to tougher competition, a change in the quality of rides, or simply the natural fluctuation of a young career finding its level is the real question. Either way, with 337 rides in a single season he is clearly not short of work, and volume at this stage is its own kind of education.
