You were champion apprentice on the all-weather during the winter. How proud are you of that achievement and will you be aiming to do the same on the grass?
My agent Phil Shea and I had it in our sights from the start, so it's nice when it paid off. My next goal is the champion apprentice title on turf this season.

Would you rather win the Derby or be champion jockey?
Both would be nice to tick off the list. Neither have been won by a female, but being the first to be crowned champion jockey would have to come first.

What advice would you give your ten-year-old self?
Don't give up your dreams.
