Crowley no bigger than 1-3 for title after Brighton double

Jim Crowley: two winners takes his tally to 90

A double for Jim Crowley at Brighton on Monday took the Stobart jockeys' title leader five clear of defending champion Silvestre de Sousa and prompted bookmakers to cut him to a best-priced 1-3.

Victories aboard the Hugo Palmer-trained 8-11 favourite Colibri and the Lucy Wadham-trained 100-30 chance Buteo Bai propelled the former jump jockey's tally for the Flat championship – which started at Newmarket on 2,000 Guineas day and concludes at next month's British Champions Day – to 90.
