Sly Man's Horses to Watch — Tuesday 10 November 2026
Nothing shorter than 5/1 makes my book. I'm looking beyond the obvious — but they still have to earn their place.
Five worth watching today. Read the rating, read the angle, then make up your own mind. I'm the wiry one in the silks reading form on a tablet while the favourites warm up — here's what's caught my eye.
Cayman Dancer
Cayman Dancer heads this card with an SR of 106, and when the top-rated runner also carries a jockey clocking 19% over the last 30 days, that combination gets circled fast. Moore's yard is ticking at 17% in the same window — three things pointing the same direction is enough to watch this one closely.
- SR 106 — top of the card
- Freddie Mitchell(3) — 19% strike rate last 30d (3/16)
- Jamie Moore & Josh Moore — 17% strike rate last 30d (6/36)
Jack Kennedy is running hot — 23% strike rate across 39 rides in the last 30 days is not noise, that's a jockey in form who finds winners. Well Bud tops the card on SR 106, so the ability is there; Kennedy aboard turns this from a watch to a live runner.
- Jack Kennedy — 23% strike rate last 30d (9/39)
- SR 106 — top of the card
Joe Tizzard is operating at 28% over the last 30 days, and Diamond Days sits at the top of the card with an SR of 81 — this yard doesn't run horses at 5/1 for fun when they're in form like this. Freddie Gingell gets the leg-up, and right now that combination is exactly what you want to be watching at Lingfield.
- Joe Tizzard — 28% strike rate last 30d (17/60)
- SR 81 — top of the card
Tuckmill sits top of the card with an SR of 94, and Peter Fahey is running at 16% over the last 30 days — that's a yard in decent nick, not just ticking over. McParland claims 2lb off the handicapper, and at 13/2 this one is on the list.
- SR 94 — top of the card
- Peter Fahey — 16% strike rate last 30d (3/19)
Escaria Ten tops this card on 112 SR and comes back after 192 days off with a place already on the board — Martin Keighley doesn't waste a fresh horse, and his 18% strike rate over the last 30 days backs that up. Freddie's claim keeps the price honest at 5/1 and this one is firmly on the list.
- SR 112 — top of the card
- 192 days off the track — placed last time
- Martin Keighley — 18% strike rate last 30d (5/28)
