Sly Man's Jockeys Taking Aim — Wednesday 11 November 2026
The riders I'm watching today — the loaded books, the marquee bookings, the form jocks pinging the radar.
By Sly Man11 Nov 2026 · 1 min read
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 Sean Bowen
Sean Bowen is in the form of his life right now — four winners in the last seven days and a 24% career strike rate that tells you this is no flash in the pan. Get him onside at 14:05 when he climbs aboard Agafay, a horse carrying a speed rating of 155 that makes this the standout booking of his five rides today.
- 4 winners in the last 7 days
- 24% career strike rate (2510 rides)
- On Agafay (SR 155) in the 14:05

2 Harry Skelton
Harry Skelton is riding the hottest streak in the weighing room right now — 12 winners in seven days from a man who already converts at 27% across nearly 1,800 rides is not coincidence, that's a jockey in full flow. Get him onside in the 14:35 when he climbs aboard Frost Moon, a 155-rated mount that deserves better than being quietly ignored by the big sheets.
- 12 winners in the last 7 days
- 27% career strike rate (1781 rides)

3 Gavin Sheehan
Gavin Sheehan is running hot right now — six winners in seven days is not a purple patch, it is a man who has found something, and you back form like that blind. Fresh Perspective at 13:50 carries a speed rating of 119 and a jockey at 23% career strike rate who currently cannot stop riding winners.

4 Colin Keane
Colin Keane arrives with two winners in the last seven days and a full book of five rides to press home the advantage. Direct Action at 16:32 is the one that matters — a speed rating of 146 puts that horse clear of the pack, and Keane's 16% career strike rate tells you he doesn't waste a mount like this.
- 2 winners in the last 7 days

🔥 IN FORM
5 Sam Twiston-Davies
Sam Twiston-Davies is red-hot right now — four winners in the last seven days and four rides today to press the advantage. Get to the 13:20: Orchard County carries a speed rating of 127, and a jockey running this warm doesn't waste that kind of mount.
