I agree about the booking of James Reveley, but wouldn’t have a clue as to why they landed upon him. I heard Nick Luck relaying Harry Cobden’s thoughts after schooling all Paul Nicholls entrants that judged on the schooling, Bravemansgame was easily the best of them.

As for the other questions, I would surmise that Willie Mullins & JP/Frank Berry exert quite a lot of influence over who rides what and there is an element of regular riders having a relationship with a particular horse involved in this. JJ Slevin may have more chance of first pick for Munir/Suede in Ireland than in UK and as he also still wants to ride for Joseph O’Brien and the Mulryan’s maybe there is a bit of give and take involved.

I learnt the hard way not to set too much store by jockey bookings as I think it just adds another element of guesswork to the puzzle.
