That's a disgrace re labaik, Phil Smith has basically just guessed with giving him that rating.

Walsh gets the Yanworth job.

Walsh might lack experience around there, but he has grown into a very intuitive rider and a good judge of pace. This could be his audition for the main job in 2 years time odd.

Always find the lack of experience line an odd one, the only way to gain experience is by been given a chance!
Nothing wrong with been thrown in at the deep end, he'll either sink or swim, I personally think he'll be more than capable of handling the occasion |

I have watched him over the years,a very cool calculating jockey,and when the money's down he's mustard!

I'd have him over any of the English based alternatives, he is probably the jockey Fehily was in his prime while Johnson has never been my cup of tea. I wonder what input Alan King had if any as he seems to be riding his two best chances of the week.
More broadly, who gets the McManus job after Geraghty? or will they split it with an Irish number 1 and a UK based number 1. In a couple of years you'd say David Mullins or Jack Kennedy as the best candidates, but is the role in the guise McCoy had it suitable for 2 thoroughbred bred talents like that who are really only used to riding good horses relatively speaking. I'd say whoever gets it would want it in the way geraghty has it now, not slogging around England on a Tuesday riding trash, even if they are young men still. |

Re McManus job post Geraghty Id imagine Aidan Coleman in UK & Mark Walsh in Ireland.

Think the tough finish will play to M Walsh's style,creeping there and suiting strong finishers.
