Before the Cheltenham Festival, the last ranking of the first David Power Jockeys cup was revealed.
The competition, named after the co-founder of Paddy Power, has a superb fund of 1.5 million pounds sterling while he opposes the runners against the other on ITV Jump Races.
With the master event of Racing preparing to start next week, there has been a lot of debate on how the classification will take care of the festival.
There is a total of 672 points to be won over the four days, with a maximum of 240 points available for any unique jockey, and the current top 10 is all in mathematical outfit to set up the first prize of £ 500,000.
Harry Skelton storm 312 points, but Harry Cobden is hot on his heels with 270.
Sam Twiston-Davies (230), Nico de Boinville (214) and Sean Bowen (194) complete the first five, with Gavin Sheehan (168), Charlie Deutsch (144), Ben Jones (128), Jonjo O’Neill Jr. (108) and Brendan Powell (104) Trail.

Skelton remains the favorite with Paddy Power to win the first cup of David Power Jockeys after having built a healthy advance at the top.
The jockeys are allocated points for finishing in the first four of the races – with a victory worth 10 points, a second obtaining 8 points, the 6 points and the fourth points of 4 points.
In total, there are 24 races which will be presented live on ITV Racing.
Meanwhile, on the last Cheltenham seen, hosted by Paddy Power, Galopin des Champs was to make history in the Cheltenham Gold Cup Chase Boodles.
The nine, nine years old, trained in Willie Mullins, a double winner of the race, is the 1/2 favorite with Paddy Power to win a third historic consecutive victory.
He won the Gold Cup in 2023 by seven lengths and defended his title in 2024, beating Gerri Colombe with three and a half lengths.
This season, he won the pursuit of Savills in December by seven lengths and the Irish Gold Cup in Leopardstown in February, strengthening his references.
However, a defeat actually stable to deposit in John Durkan in November – the first defeat in more than two years – shows that it is not invincible.
