Horses to Watch — Saturday 13 June 2026
Five from today's card. Not the highest-rated — the ones with the loudest stories.
The Saturday Rating tells you who can — the story tells you who will. Five runners today have a tale worth telling. Whether you back them or just watch, here's what the data is whispering.
Mighty Fleur
Mighty Fleur arrives at Uttoxeter on the back of two consecutive wins and is posting a career-best speed rating of 122, nudging past her previous peak of 120 at exactly the right moment. With Sean Bowen in the saddle — a jockey who converts at 23% across 1,126 career rides — the 11/8 on offer looks like a gift.
- Won last 2 starts
- SR 122 — near career best (120)
- Sean Bowen — 23% career strike rate
Passengerontheship arrives at Hexham on the back of two consecutive wins and has already conquered this track twice before, making the familiar surroundings very much to his advantage. With a speed rating of 94 that tops the entire card, Jonathan England inherits a horse in the form of his life at a track he clearly loves, and 2/1 looks a generous price to take.
- Won last 2 starts
- 2 prior wins at Hexham
- SR 94 — top of the card
Obsessedwithyou has placed in every one of her last three starts with a form line of 121, and a Speed Rating of 132 that puts her clear at the top of this card makes the 2/5 price look entirely fair. Gavin Sheehan brings a 20% career strike rate from 524 rides to the saddle, and with Jamie Snowden sending her out in the sort of form that demands respect, this is a banker, not a bet.
- Placed in last 3 starts (form: 121)
- Gavin Sheehan — 20% career strike rate
- SR 132 — top of the card
Supreme Yeats arrives at Hexham on the back of two consecutive wins and carries the highest speed rating on the card at 121, making this a straightforward case of the class act in the race. Harry Skelton's 26% career strike rate from 595 rides tells you he does not waste his time on also-rans, and his presence here is as strong an endorsement as the form book itself.
- Won last 2 starts
- Harry Skelton — 26% career strike rate
- SR 121 — top of the card
Extremely Zain arrives at York on the back of two consecutive wins and boasts the highest Speed Rating on the entire card at 104, which makes the 13/8 price look generous rather than generous. William Haggas has this horse primed, and with Cieren Fallon in the saddle — a man who converts at 21% across 630 career rides — this is the one to be on at the 14:25.
- Won last 2 starts
- Cieren Fallon — 21% career strike rate
- SR 104 — top of the card
