Sly Man's Jockeys Taking Aim — Sunday 15 November 2026

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.

🔥 IN FORM

1 Jack Kennedy

Jack Kennedy rolls in today carrying live ammunition — three winners in the last seven days says the trigger finger is warm, and a 23% career strike rate over 1,289 rides tells you this is no patch of blind luck. Seven rides across the card means he's the busiest gun in the room, and trainers don't hand Kennedy a heavy book unless they fancy their chances.

• 3 winners in the last 7 days
• 23% career strike rate (1289 rides)
• 7 rides across the card

2 Sean Bowen

Sean Bowen is running hot with four winners in the past seven days, and a 24% career strike rate over 2528 rides tells you this is no flash in the pan. Get him on board Old Habits in the 12:50 — a speed rating of 163 is the kind of number that makes six rides in a day look very manageable indeed.

• 4 winners in the last 7 days
• 24% career strike rate (2528 rides)
• On Old Habits (SR 163) in the 12:50

3 Harry Skelton

Harry Skelton is on a seven-winners-in-seven-days tear and walking into today with only three rides — that is concentration, not spread. Let It Rain at 15:10 carries a 128 speed rating and a jockey running at 27% over nearly 1,800 career rides, and that combination does not get ignored.

• 7 winners in the last 7 days
• 27% career strike rate (1792 rides)
• On Let It Rain (SR 128) in the 15:10

4 Harry Cobden

Harry Cobden arrives here red-hot with four winners in the last seven days, and a 22% career strike rate over 946 rides tells you this is no flash in the pan. The 15:10 is the one to follow — Harry Lowes carries a speed rating of 131, and Cobden on a triple-figure SR horse in this form is a booking you don't walk past.

• 4 winners in the last 7 days
• 22% career strike rate (946 rides)
• On Harry Lowes (SR 131) in the 15:10

5 Paul Townend

Paul Townend arrives here mid-streak — three winners in the last seven days from a man whose 38% career strike rate over 919 rides already marks him out as the sharpest finisher in the weighing room. La Valserine in the 12:10 carries a speed rating of 160, and when a jockey at this temperature picks up a mount that well-rated, you don't hang about.
