His nomination reads: “Callum Rodriguez looked anything but a 5lb claimer with a masterful ride in one of the biggest handicaps in Europe.

“Content to sit out the back, Rodriguez made steady progress with half a mile to run before taking a narrow gap with a furlong to go.

“Under a strong drive, Rodriguez edged out Flymetothestars, not letting a lost rein distract him either.”

Rodriguez also recently won the Go Racing in Yorkshire Future Stars Award.
