Victorian jockey Michelle Payne is finding herself in strong demand during her working holiday in Europe.

Having ridden for leading French trainer Pascal Bary at Maisons-Laffitte on 17 June, Payne, 23, will have her first ride in the UK tomorrow on Superior Duchess, trained by Jane Chapple-Hyam.

The Victorian-born, but Newmarket-based, Chapple-Hyam has booked Payne to ride Superior Duchess (B m 2005, Superior Premium (GB)-Downclose Duchess, by King's Signet (USA)) in a 1600-metre claiming race at Doncaster. The mare has had one placing in six starts.

The Chapple-Hyam  booking "leapfrogs" Payne's engagement by another Newmarket trainer, John Berry, for Stardust Memories (F 2006, Halling (USA)-Clarinda (IRE), by Lomond (USA)) in a 1600-metre maiden at Windsor on Monday to become her first ride in Britain. (She had a couple of rides for champion trainer Aidan O'Brien in Ireland last year.)

Payne has ridden Stardust Memories in work and also has been riding out for regular Melbourne visitor Luca Cumani, second in the past two Melbourne Cups with Purple Moon and Bauer. Chapple-Hyam took her quality stayer, Yellowstone, "home" to Melbourne last year to tackle the Cup for the first time, but it was scratched only days before because of injury.

The enforced scratching, on veterinary advice, had Chapple-Hyam and her jockey, John Egan, in something of a public spat with the decision of the RVL stewards. Egan was fined $8000 for calling racing officials "tinpot Hitlers".

Victoria and SA Derby-winning jockey Clare Lindop, also on a working holiday, will join Payne at Newmarket on Monday. Lindop, 30, has been based at the Wiltshire yard of Jeremy Gask, another Australian. She has had six rides for Gask, who trains for the Horses First group (see The Thoroughbred, spring edition 2008) , for two wins and two seconds.

Lindop, Adelaide's champion rider last season, is fifth on the premiership this year with 30.5 wins. She had 63 wins overall for the season, including the Group 1 Derby wins on the reigning Melbourne Cup favourite, Rebel Raider, before taking her holiday; Payne had 55.
