The top jockey rides some big fancies at York today
The standout ride for the top jockey is of course Paddington in the Juddmonte International, but he partners two other well-fancied runners for Aidan O'Brien in Edwardian and Continuous, as well as Zanndabad for Tony Martin Starlust for Ralph Beckett.He bumped into a useful horse on his debut back in Tipperary in April and I rode him for the first time when he won for me off a break at Naas last month. I was pretty taken with him there as he picked up extremely well to win over 5f.
Of course, he steps up markedly in grade and that Naas run will need improving on a good deal - the form of Richmond Stakes second Ballymount Boy looks even better after the Prix Morny on Sunday - but he is a horse with serious potential. He's talented.Just the five runners but some very smart talent on show, not least the current St Leger favourite Gregory. He looks the one to beat here, even with his 3lb penalty, but we have always rated Continuous.
He ran well here in the Dante before taking his chance in the French Derby, and he then probably ran a career-best when second to King Of Steel in the King Edward VII Stakes last time. He has a solid chance as it stands, with hopefully more to come.Again, a small field but one packed with talent.
My colt has risen his game to meet any challenge ranged against him this season, and hopefully it will be the same again here. He has everything you look for in a top-class horse, but the official ratings say this is his stiffest task to date, and Mostahdaf has to be greatly respected after what he did last time.She won here well last season, she handles fast ground and the handicapper looks to have played ball with her as she has come down pretty quickly in the weights for her recent runs.
