His most reliable partnership is with the yard run by Julia and Shelley Birkett, where the numbers tell a clear story. From 83 rides together, they have combined for 12 wins — that is closer to 1 in every 7, well above his seasonal average. When a jockey consistently outperforms their own baseline with a particular team, it usually means genuine trust has built up on both sides: the trainer books him because she knows he gets the best out of her horses, and he repays that faith.
The other detail worth watching right now is his recent form. In the last two weeks he has won 1 from 5 rides — a 20% win rate, exactly double what he has been averaging across the season. Small sample, yes, but hot spells like this often reflect a jockey who is riding with real confidence, making good decisions in tight moments.
There is also an interesting pattern on fast, dry ground, where he has won 1 from just 4 races — a 25% win rate. One in four is a sharp return, and if the summer stays dry, that is a number to keep in mind when his name appears in the racecard.
