Thumbs up to social media but a temporary thumbs down for Red Bull

What advice would you give your ten-year-old self?
Spend what is left after saving. Don’t save what is left after spending.

How did your link-up with Amy Murphy come about and can you believe how well it's going?
Amy leases a yard belonging to Michael Wigham, for whom I regularly ride. She was always going to make a bright start having had experience in some tops yards around the world and her father Paul is a shrewd breeder, so long may the good horses keep coming.

Is it difficult being a jump jockey in the home of Flat racing in Newmarket?
No, it's great. There's fabulous facilities – I'm out on the underused schooling grounds most mornings. I also have loyal support from Amy, James Eustace and Nick Littmoden and anyone in town who wants me to ride a possible hurdler. The one difficulty is travelling. Racing and riding out – I go to Robin Dickin's once a week – means I do roughly 60,000 miles a year from Perth to Newton Abbot in my dependable two-litre Ford Focus.
