Sly Man's Jockeys Taking Aim — Wednesday 24 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.
⚡ Connor Beasley is the man of the moment — five winners in the last seven days, and now he walks in with a six-ride book that tells you the trainers have clocked it too. Love Tanya at 14:30 carries a speed rating of 151 and gets the hottest pilot on the card right now.

C Lee
⚡ C Lee is running hot right now — three winners in seven days from a rider whose 17% career strike rate already tells you this is not a journeyman filling gaps. Six rides across the card and the plum booking on Queen Of Christmas (speed rating 156) in the 14:00 makes this a diary you circle before the favourites boys have even looked up.

Dylan Browne McMonagle
⚡ Dylan Browne McMonagle rolls in here on the back of three winners in seven days, and five rides across the card tells you the yards know it too. Rebel Moon at 18:40 carries a speed rating of 157 — that is the headline booking, and McMonagle in this nick is exactly who you want in the saddle for it.

Callum Rodriguez
⚡ Callum Rodriguez rolls in carrying real momentum — two winners in the last seven days and a 17% career strike rate over 583 rides tells you this isn't a man who wastes a good booking. Louis The Fifth at 14:00 carries a speed rating of 152, and Rodriguez on form plus that kind of firepower is exactly the combination the front pages will be kicking themselves for missing.

D Allan
⚡ D Allan is red-hot right now — six winners in seven days from a man whose career strike rate sits at a modest 11%, so something has clicked and you'd be a fool to ignore it. Wells Fargo Stage at 15:00 carries a speed rating of 127 and looks the pick of his four-ride book today.
