Horse Racing: Top Jockey Odds

Mick Kinane 9-4

Four times top jockey at the meeting, though only once in the last ten years, Kinane benefits from Kieren Fallon's absence by getting the pick of Aidan O'Brien's runners. George Washington is one of three favourites he rides on the first day.

Jamie Spencer 5-1

Top rider for the first time at Royal Ascot last year, the former champion has three big chances tomorrow, when he partners Enticing, Excellent Art and Red Evie. Later in the week, his interesting mounts include Artimino in the Britannia Handicap.

Frankie Dettori 11-2

Shares with Kinane the distinction of having ridden most winners (38) at Royal Ascot among current jockeys but Godolphin's poor year leaves him with few standout rides. Ramonti in the Queen Anne and Red Rocks in the Prince Of Wales's look the pick.

Kerrin McEvoy 10-1

Godolphin's second rider has won only once at the Royal meeting, when it was held at York in 2005. His best chance may be Echelon in Wednesday's Windsor Forest.

Ryan Moore 12-1

Reigning champion, recently back from injury, has never won at the meeting. Major Cadeaux in Wednesday's Jersey could break his duck.
