Percy Jones

The yard behind him is Mark Loughnane's operation at Rock Farm in Worcestershire, which has sent out 25 winners already this season — a healthy total that suggests a trainer in good form. Most of the time Percy Jones has been ridden by Billy Loughnane, who has won 3 of their 10 races together — a win rate of 30%, or nearly 1 in every 3. That is a noticeably stronger record than Percy Jones manages with other riders, and it matters: the partnership clearly clicks. Mark Loughnane once spoke about the horse showing real improvement early in his career, finishing a strong second at Goodwood and running well in competitive company at Haydock — signs that the horse had ability, even if it took time to fully translate into wins.

He is at his best on normal ground — 4 wins from 16 races in those conditions, a rate of 25%, or 1 in 4. Over a distance of a mile and three to four furlongs he has managed 1 win from 5 races, which gives some sense of where the yard believe his ceiling lies. He typically competes at Class 4 level, the middle tier of British racing, where he has won 2 from 20 — competitive without dominating.

His most recent win came at Wolverhampton in August 2025, nine months ago, and his last six runs read 8-8-5-5-7-1 — that solitary win surrounded by modest efforts. He raced just yesterday, so he is clearly in an active campaign. At seven years old, Percy Jones is an experienced, battle-hardened competitor. He is not a horse who is going to surprise anyone by suddenly jumping up a level, but point him at Wolverhampton on decent ground with Billy Loughnane in the saddle, and the form book suggests you should be paying close attention.
