    Can only imagine that Harry Skelton would be gutted. Ultimately its up to the owner though.

    Equally you can only imagine how Cobden would feel if each of the trainers wanted their most prized horses to be ridden by their jockey. Wouldn’t even be a question mark for AP or Geraghty.

    The New Lion will be the most interesting, of course, as the Skeltons go beyond the normal trainer/jockey relationship.

    See how The New Lion does over the next few months. He might fall a few times and then Skelton will be looking for a flat jockey to ride him at Lingfield.

    Harry Skelton agruably the most improved jock in the weighing room in the last couple os seasons.I doubt there’s a pound or so between him and Cobden. And I believe Darren Yates, who sold The New Lion got an agreement from JP that the Skeltons would carry on with him. I wonder if there was a definite deal on Harry?

    Don’t forget that Harry won the Irish National as a conditional so the talent was always there.
