Luke Morris thinks his ride at Wolves could be one for the future

HAPPY new year everyone, I hope you all had a really good time of things over Christmas and the new year.

I took a few days off to recharge after a busy year but I’m back and firing on all cylinders now, and my first aim is to make up some ground in the jockeys’ championship.

I’ve slipped a little down the table and I need to get a few winners on the board to climb back up all the way to the top.
It’s more congested in the table than it’s ever been as everyone seems to be riding winners at the moment instead of just one or two jockeys. It’s worked well in a way as it means I’m not too far behind the others.

It’s all about getting some momentum going now and hopefully the rides and the winners will keep flowing so I can climb the table. I’ll be giving it everything over the next few months.

Lingfield and Wolverhampton rides

12.40 Lingfield – Traveller
I thought he showed he had talent on his debut, and his trainer Charlie Hills generally gets his horses to improve for a run. I’d like to think he can step up on that in what doesn’t look the strongest race in the world and he’s got a good chance. He’s nicely drawn and shouldn’t be far away.

1.10 Lingfield – Billyoakes

He doesn’t get his head in front much but he generally runs well. He’s got a tricky draw in stall ten, but he’s in good form and has an each-way chance.

2.55 Lingfield – Coral Sea
She’s been placed on her start so far but I’ve never ridden her so I couldn’t question her resolution yet. She’s bumped into several smart types in her maidens and it could be the same again here. She’ll need to put her best foot but I think she’s in with a chance and should be fighting out the finish.
