Roi Du Roume

SPECULATIVE Advised 7/2 Est. 26%

🥈 2ND

Mr Fox says

Roi Du Roume (SR:79, 7/2) carries the joint-lightest competitive weight at 10-11 alongside Path Of Stars, holds the top SR among the market principals, and crucially has Sean Bowen in the saddle — a jockey striking at 23% from 1,224 career rides, the standout booking in this field. The market has already shortened 9% since opening, confirming professional confidence. Trainer Mickey Bowen runs at 16% which is strong for this class. The DistFit:- flag is a concern at 2m5f, but Cartmel's unique flat-and-tight configuration compresses the stamina test, and the 34-426 form shows consistent engagement at this level — the 6 last time out can be forgiven given 62 days off. At 7/2 with money coming in, this represents genuine value over a weak field. Each-way alternative: Aill Dubh. Main danger: Aill Dubh — Aill Dubh (SR:80, 4/1) carries the highest SR in the field, has won at Cartmel (Course:W1P1), and returns on a mark only 2lb above his last win — the 31-441 form includes a recent victory and he is the one horse in the field who can point to genuine course-winning evidence at this track.
