How about Cathy Gannon and Ann Stokell? Ok, maybe not, but you have to commend her and Pawan!!!!
But Kelly Harrison gets my top vote!
As has been pointed out, Manser has been riding professionally for at least 4 seasons now, she’s hardly a new name on the scene. She’s also still claiming 7lbs which personally I think speaks volumes about whether or not she is the next ‘big talent’. I don’t especially rate her myself, especially not in a finish.

I’d love to be an onlooker the day you roll up at a point-to-point meeting and came out with that tripe. Be assured the 2010 edition of Mackenzie and Harris would feature a delightful shot of the mostly very competent, but above all rock hard, lady riders kicking your head clean off its hinges!
