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.


Biggest Winning Tips – January 2026

  • NEO KING – 20/1 WINNER

  • BONZA BOY – 18/1 WINNER

  • DONNACHA – 12/1 WINNER

  • COWBOY COPPER – 12/1 WINNER

  • INISHMOT PRINCE – 10/1 WINNER

  • CHAMPAGNE KID – 15/2 WINNER

  • ANDASHAN – 6/1 WINNER

  • JIPCOT – 11/2 WINNER

  • OKAMI – 5/1 WINNER

  • HEART OVER HEAD – 10/3 WINNER


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

  • LOVE OF NEYMORE – 4th at 12/1 SP

  • TOOR MOON – 4th at 12/1

  • SCHOOL FOR SCANDAL – 4th at 11/1

  • PACHACUTI – 2nd at 9/1

  • BOBALOT – 3rd at 9/1

  • WISE EAGLE – 3rd at 9/1

  • 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.
