Learn from the champion or dine with Christopher Biggins - the choice is yours

Fancy a riding lesson with the champion Flat jockey? That is one of the lots coming under the virtual hammer after Oisin Murphy joined Daniel Craig and Lewis Hamilton in a star-studded online auction in aid of NHS charities.

Actors, artists, musicians and sportspeople have answered the call to pledge unique experiences for the Bonhams Online Blue Auction, raising money for the NHS Charities Covid-19 Urgent Appeal.

Murphy, who is itching to begin the launch of his title defence when the delayed Flat turf season finally gets under way, has offered a one-on-one riding lesson plus the opportunity to walk the track with him before a big race.

"I'm going to do a course walk later in the year at one of the best tracks, hopefully on a big day's racing," he said. "It will be super fun.

"Also, I will instruct a riding lesson on a quiet horse and do my best to teach you some good skills."

The auction is hosted at bonhams.com and runs until April 29. Bids can be made via bids@bonhams.com or by calling 020 7447 7447.

Among the other lots is lunch at Claridge's with Dame Joan Collins and Christopher Biggins and the chance to play a walk-on role in Call The Midwife and have lunch or tea with the cast of the BBC drama.
