RISING star jockey Charlotte Jones will have the chance to add more impressive wins to her name at Cartmel's final meeting of the season this month.

The conditional rider has claimed three victories – the first of her fledgling career – at the South Lakes track so far this season.

Among them have been triumphs in two feature races – on board Lough Kent in the Ron Wadey Now 70 Years Old Handicap Hurdle and then, even more impressively, with Altruism in the Cumbria Crystal Cup.

Those results have delighted both the 21-year-old rider and Cartmel trainer Moffatt, who is hoping Jones can replicate that form over the two days at the end of August.

“She could very well be riding Altruism in the three-mile handicap hurdle, and certainly riding Lough Kent in the Cartmel Cup,” said Moffatt, who is keen to ensure Jones only has rides that will suit her, rather than throwing her in at the deep end of a number of horses she does not know. “They will be key rides she will definitely be getting.

“We want to try to guide her riding career in the right direction, try to get her on the rides where she can show what she can do, without putting too much pressure on her. She takes pressure really well, she's a very level-headed girl, and we are really proud of her.

“She's very modest and very dedicated. She was was outstanding on Altruism, her whole family were there watching, and she took it all in her stride.

“We've just got to manage her, a bit like a young player breaking into a football team. You can't play them every game, you can't always give them 90 minutes, you have to give them the right moments to play. Hopefully, she can keep making it count, as she has done.

“She has ridden three marvellous winners, but it's all a learning process. You don't want to put her on the wrong type of horse, or one that doesn't quite suit, because she is still learning.”

Jones is one of four stable lasses working for Moffatt, and the trainer says that is still the main part of her job – though he did joke about having to put her on a retainer after her success on Altruism in the feature Cumbria Crystal Cup.

“That's her love first and foremost, the yard, the background preparation of the horses,” added the trainer. “She loves that and she gets really involved.”
