Hollie Doyle odds-on favourite to be John and Thady Gosden's next stable jockey

Betfair have made Hollie Doyle their odds-on favourite to be John and Thady Gosden's next number one rider in response to the speculation around Frankie Dettori's role with the Clarehaven operation.

Doyle, who became the first female rider to win a European Classic that holds Group 1 status when riding Nashwa to victory for the Gosdens in the Prix de Diane at Chantilly last weekend, is 4-11 to be next to get the coveted gig.

Betfair head of racing PR Barry Orr said: "With John Gosden having spoken so effusively about Hollie Doyle and her considerable talent on more than one occasion, she is a red-hot favourite to land the plum job.

"Irish champion jockey Colin Keane is also an interesting proposition, but it could take a lot to lure him away from Ger Lyons."

'She's hugely talented'

Gosden spoke highly of Doyle after she guided Nashwa to Prix de Diane glory at Chantilly last weekend.

After the race, Gosden said: "The owner-breeder of Nashwa, Imad Al Sagar, said to me two or three years ago he had a few jockeys he was looking at and wanted to retain one.

"He showed me the list and I said 'Hollie Doyle', and I know other people would back me on that.

"She's hugely talented and horses run for her. She's incredibly meticulous and hard-working and she analyses things properly."
