Jamie Codd is at the peak of his powers.

Winner of The Irish Field Champion Point-to-Point Rider title in 2014, he enjoyed a dream Cheltenham Festival this year when winning two of the three races restricted to amateur riders.

Kick-starting his week with success in the Toby Balding National Hunt Chase aboard Cause Of Causes, who is trained by Gordon Elliott, with whom Codd has enjoyed significant success aboard his point-to-pointers in recent times, the Wexford rider had to be at his very best aboard the JP McManus owned gelding, to guide the seven-year-old to victory under a confidence-inspiring patient ride.

Completing his dream week in the Cotswolds, Jamie brought-up his Cheltenham Festival double in the Fulke Walwyn Kim Muir Chase on The Package for David Pipe, a trainer with whom he had previously enjoyed success for in the corresponding race at the 2011 Festival aboard Junior.

Cheltenham was not the only Festival at which Codd enjoyed success at, as he was soon in the winners enclosure at Punchestown later in the Spring when steering Gordon Elliott’s Petit Mouchoir to victory in the Land Rover Bumper. In addition to his big Festival successes, Codd was awarded his 10th Eastern riders' champion title following 69 point-to-point successes, a title which he has now won every year since 2006.
