The Senior Railcard site says:-

The commencement of the morning-peak services does vary by route and is normally related to the availability of Cheap Day tickets. You
are therefore strongly advised to check with ticket office staff before buying tickets.

SouthCentral defines off-peak (e.g. in their blurb about travelcards) as:-

anytime Saturday, Sunday and Bank Holidays and after 9.30am Monday to Friday, or earlier if trains arrive after 10.00am.

Which does not seem to cover journeys 'against the flow'.

Thameslink site and leaflets do not seem to have any information on
the subject (and I have had trouble with their ticket machines
following different rules to booking clerks). However their 'against
the flow' cheap day tickets are valid from 0900 so railcards may be
also.
