Sly Man's Jockeys Taking Aim — Monday 6 July 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.
⚡ Billy Loughnane is the busiest, hottest rider on the card today — nine winners in seven days is not a purple patch, it is a statement, and the handlers who've handed him eight rides clearly agree. At 18% career strike rate over 1548 rides, the baseline was already there; right now he is running well above it, and you ignore him at your own cost.
- 9 winners in the last 7 days
- 8 rides across the card
- 18% career strike rate (1548 rides)

Cieren Fallon
⚡ Cieren Fallon is on a four-winner streak in seven days and walks into today with five chances to extend it — the man is simply in form right now. The one that matters most is Delighfully Hot in the 19:00, a mount carrying a speed rating of 139 that the favourites pages will have clocked, but Fallon's 20% career strike rate tells you he doesn't waste rides like this.

Rossa Ryan
⚡ Rossa Ryan is red-hot right now — four winners in the last seven days and a 32% strike rate at Lingfield over 101 visits tells you this track holds no secrets for him. Get on Drum Bay in the 14:45; a speed rating of 148 is the standout number on the card and Ryan is the last man you want against you when he walks into a track he owns.

David Probert
⚡ David Probert is in the form of his life right now — three winners in seven days from a man whose career mark sits at 9% tells you the booking agents have spotted something the headline sheets haven't. Six rides today and a top mount in Minzaal Time (SR 125) at 15:15 means Probert is the name to follow across the card, not just the one race.

Ray Dawson
⚡ Ray Dawson comes into today's card red-hot — three winners in the last seven days tells you the hands are working and the eye is sharp.
