January 2026 Performance Breakdown
January began with a volatile opening week
ANDASHAN – 6/1 winner
CHAMPAGNE KID – 15/2 winner
COWBOY COPPER – 12/1 winner
That week still finished slightly negative after a difficult New Year’s Day, but there were clear positives early on.
The second week produced the standout moment of the month:
BONZA BOY – 18/1 winner → +21.6 pts
Alongside:
OKAMI – 5/1 winner → +6.0 pts
This showed how quickly the service can recover when the bigger-priced selections land.
The second half of the month proved more challenging. There were still key winners:
NEO KING – 20/1 winner
DONNACHA – 12/1 winner
JIPCOT – 11/2 winner
INISHMOT PRINCE – 10/1 winner
However, losing runs and fine margins ultimately meant the month closed in the red.

Big-Priced Placed Performances
There were several strong placed efforts at bigger odds throughout the month:
RIYADH GEM – 3rd at 33/1
TRIPLE TRADE – 3rd at 18/1
DOCTOR GRACE – 2nd at 12/1 SP
MOORLAND RAMBLER – 3rd at 12/1 SP

MAURA JEANNE – 2nd at 8/1
These results helped soften the drawdown and show that performance levels were stronger than the final figure alone suggests.
Near Misses and Fine Margins
January was heavily influenced by near misses.
Several selections finished just outside the places at value prices:
ILOT DE LISLE – 25/1
BALLIN BAY – 33/1
SIMILAR STORY – 40/1
SOME NIGHTMARE – 12/1
THE GREAT NUDIE – 11/1
MIXED WAVE – 9/1
There were also very close calls, most notably:
DOCTOR GRACE (12/1 SP) beaten by a nostril
These moments do not change the result, but they do explain why the month felt harsher than the underlying performance.
How PPP Works
PPP focuses on higher-priced selections, typically structured each-way.
This naturally leads to:
More volatility
Short-term losing runs
But significant upside when selections land
January is a clear example:
Multiple double-figure winners
Several strong placed efforts
But not enough consistency across the month to finish in profit
Long-Term PPP Performance
While January closed at a loss, the long-term position remains strong.
At the end of January 2026:
Overall Running P/L: +683.2 pts
Equivalent at £10/pt: +£6,832.00
This remains the key context — PPP is built for long-term performance, not short-term results.
Final Thoughts – January 2026
January finished at:
–40.6 points / –£406.00 at £10 per point
Despite the loss, the month still included:
A 20/1 winner
An 18/1 winner
Multiple 10/1+ winners
Several big-priced placed efforts
A number of close near misses
The focus now is to stay disciplined and allow the results to turn, as they have done consistently over the longer term.
