Sly Man's Jockeys Taking Aim — Monday 22 June 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 rolls in with a 22% career strike rate across 1,070 rides — that's not luck, that's a jockey who converts — and today he gets four chances to add to his two wins from the past seven days. The booking that matters is the 18:45, where House Of Medici carries a speed rating of 154 and Murphy in the plate: the favourites pages can have it.

Billy Loughnane
⚡ Billy Loughnane is the hottest jockey on the circuit right now — seven winners in seven days is not a purple patch, it is a statement. Stick him in your multiples and anchor the whole thing around Perfect Nation in the 18:15, a 150-rated horse that deserves a rider in this kind of nick.

Rossa Ryan
⚡ Rossa Ryan is the man in form right now — five winners in seven days and he lands at today's card with four chances to add to that tally. The 18:15 is where you look first: Minzaal Time carries a speed rating of 145, and a rider running this hot does not waste a mount like that.

Tom Marquand
⚡ Tom Marquand is bang in form right now — four winners in the last seven days and a full six-ride book tells you the yards are queuing up for him. The pick of the lot is Fiefdom in the 18:45, a speed-rated 148 that puts Marquand in the right place at the right time on the right horse.
