HOLLIE DOYLE is looking to follow up Bradsell’s stunning Nunthorpe success in the Flying Five at the Curragh, after moving tantalisingly close to 1,000 career winners with her 100th success of the year at Ripon.

Doyle rode Archie Watson’s Zayer (4-5 favourite) to victory in the Maiden Stakes, blazing a trail and setting a new track record in the process.

“It’s good to get that done, especially for the team at Archie’s. He’s a really nice horse and we’ve always thought highly of him,” Doyle told Sky Sports Racing.

“The further he went the better, he’s quite unfurnished and weak still so he found the track quite challenging, but I think he’ll be a nice horse next year.”

The win moved Doyle to within three of 1,000 winners, just 11 years after her first in 2013, with almost 700 of those having come in the last five years.

“That was my target at the start of the year, to try to get to 1,000 international [career] winners,” she said.

“I’m not too far away so that will be good to get that done.”
