Sly Man's Jockeys Taking Aim — Sunday 27 September 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.
⚡ Ryan Moore arrives today carrying last week's form in his pocket — three winners in seven days from a man who lands one-in-four across 1,048 career rides, and that number doesn't lie. Kingdom Of Camelot at 14:00 carries a speed rating of 155 and the booking tells you everything: this is the one Moore showed up for.
- 3 winners in the last 7 days

Rossa Ryan
⚡ Rossa Ryan is flying right now — four winners in the last seven days, and he walks into today with five chances to add to that tally. The 14:12 is the one to watch: Rose Moon carries a speed rating of 96, and Ryan on a 96-rated favourite mid-streak is not a booking you walk past.
