Young riders picked for World Class squad

Anyone with a Horse & Hound magazine subscription can find out the 52 hopefuls picked for the World Class squad

If you're interested in sports and you've got a Horse & Hound magazine subscription you can find out the 52 up and coming jockeys who have been selected for the World Class team.

Among the young riders who have been picked for the 2011 to 2013 British Equestrian Federation programme is 17-year-old David Doel.

He told Horse & Hound magazine: "I'm really excited — it will not only help in the short term as I aim for the junior team again, but the funding for training will also help me to further my knowledge and to understand my horses better as I move up the ladder."

Some 21 of the riders are new to the squad, reports the publication.

World Class performance director Will Connell told Horse & Hound magazine that the selection process took longer this time than ever before, because selectors wanted to see the hopefuls competing.

At the end of last year, Grand National winner AP McCoy, who was backed by the magazine, won the BBC Sport Personality of the Year accolade.
