Sly Man's Jockeys Taking Aim — Monday 27 July 2026
The riders I'm watching today — the loaded books, the marquee bookings, the form jocks pinging the radar.
Five riders worth watching today. A loaded book is a market signal in itself — when a form jock has multiple chances, the yard sees the day as live. I read the diaries with one eye on the silks, one on the trainer form. Here's what's caught my eye.
⚡ Oisin Murphy is running hot — nine winners in the last seven days from a man who already converts at 22% across 1,212 career rides, and six books today means the bookmakers are staring down a loaded gun. The one to watch is Lucy The Wire in the 17:50, a 160 speed-rating mount that screams this is not a coincidence booking.
- 9 winners in the last 7 days
- 22% career strike rate (1212 rides)

Billy Loughnane
⚡ Billy Loughnane is riding the hottest streak in the yard right now — 10 winners in seven days is not a purple patch, it's a takeover. He lands on Bullrider at 16:30, a 154-rated horse that the booking alone tells you everything about, and an 18% career strike rate means he converts at this level.

Rossa Ryan
⚡ Rossa Ryan is running red-hot with seven winners in the last seven days, and a five-ride book tonight tells you the yards have clocked it too. Get on him in the 19:28 — Regional Rock carries a speed rating of 96 and that is the headline act of a very tidy evening's work.
- 7 winners in the last 7 days
- On Regional Rock (SR 96) in the 19:28

Clifford Lee
⚡ Clifford Lee is running red-hot right now — four winners in the last seven days from a man who clips along at 16% for the season, and he turns up today with five rides to press that streak. The one to follow is Prosperity in the 19:05, a 154-rated mount that looks suspiciously well-placed for a jockey the front pages have barely glanced at this week.
- 4 winners in the last 7 days
- On Prosperity (SR 154) in the 19:05
- 5 rides across the card
- 18:30 Reflect On Glory 4/1 🥉 3rd

Jason Hart
⚡ Jason Hart is red-hot right now — four winners in the last seven days and a seven-ride book that tells you the yards know it too. Get on Tegernsee in the 14:15; a speed rating of 140 doesn't walk into a race like that by accident, and Hart is exactly the pilot you want in the saddle when the form is running this warm.
- 4 winners in the last 7 days
