I don't think you will find much praise for JOB on here this year, especially compared with previous seasons when he was still new on the scene. Fancying him to win the Irish championship is not the same thing as saying he's the best jockey in Ireland. He'll be given better opportunities to win it than anyone else and he's competent enough to take a sufficient number of them to win the title. But he's not the finished article, has weight problems and too good an alternative career as assistant to his dad to stick at it long term.
