Most rides without success in the Cheltenham Gold Cup

Hello all...

been asked this by e-mail

I am trying to find out which jockey has ridden in most Cheltenham Gold Cup's without success (similarly for the Champion Hurdle).
Can you help?

Thanks, John

If someone knows off the top of their head ( I know Dicky Johnson has that dubious honour in Grand National) let us know...I'll throw out a few ideas.
