Ramon Di Loria

That last win came at Wolverhampton in February 2026, and at eight years old Ramon Di Loria is clearly still showing up to compete. The recent form — finishing sixth, second, third, third, sixth, third across the last six races — tells the story of a horse that keeps placing without quite getting over the line. That's not failure, though. Thirty-nine career places from 91 races means this horse finishes in the top three more often than not, which is exactly the kind of consistent, honest competitor that makes it fun to follow.

The partnership with jockey Ryan Sexton is worth noting. Together they've won 4 from 21 races, a win rate of around 1 in 5 — noticeably better than the horse's overall record. When Sexton is in the saddle, something clicks. Trainer Ewan Whillans operates out of Hawick in the Scottish Borders and has sent out 28 winners this season, so this is clearly a yard in good form and one that knows how to find the right race for the right horse.

The preferred conditions are straightforward: normal ground suits Ramon Di Loria best, with 6 wins from 34 races on standard going — just under 1 in 6. The horse typically races at the lower end of the competitive ladder, and at that level has won 7 of 30 races, or nearly 1 in 4. That's a genuinely impressive conversion rate, suggesting the team is good at placing this horse where it has a real chance. With Wolverhampton appearing on the calendar and Whillans's yard in full swing, the next win might not be far away.
