Top Jockey - Potential Rides

With Ruby appearing to be very selective with his rides this year, is Paul Townend in with a shout here?

Not a bad set of day 1 rides, can wait until Tuesday morning to see if Ruby starts picking up more rides, but I am wondering if it is going to be similar to the rest of the season with Paul gunning for the title with volume while Ruby just rides the top horses

12/1 could be worth a poke with 365

Like the angle HF... will definitely look out for this and see at around 11am
 
JJ Slevin looks like he will be busy and has probably two favourites at least to ride.
 
If you fancy Angel's Breath... Nico might be hard to peg back...... Altior puts him 1 up on the field, and he's 12/1 too

Just dont know if he will have enough rides. Didnt even ride at the Festival on the Thursday last year.
 
Another nice set of chances for Rachel Blackmore tomorrow...

Would be shocked if this isn’t win on countbaxk this year

Looking through the next two days card, Davy Russell has very few rides and I don’t think I saw his name down for a handicap chase which seems madness! Ruby is still very selective, Kennedy hasn’t had a winner. Going to be some race.

While I have Townend at 12a and he is now 5-6/1 I don’t see where he gets 2 or 3 winners
 
Mark walsh still has Sir Erec and pretty fully book of rides - most likely winner now imo.

Backing her big time today. Delighted she has already had a winner so she can 'relax', for want of a better word
