A new competition for jump jockeys with £500,000 for the winner and a £1.5m prize pot will launch at Cheltenham on Friday.
The David Power Jockeys' Cup will have a prize fund of £1.5m, starting with a three-day meeting at Cheltenham from 15-17 November, and runs until the Grand National meeting at Aintree in April.
The jockey who collects the most points will be crowned the winner and scoop the top cash prize, while second place collects £200,000 with £100,000 on offer for third spot, plus awards all the way down to 10th place. Cobden said: "It's a huge amount on offer and I'm sure will create some great competition as we'll all be trying to win as many of those ITV races as we can."
Blackmore, who is currently injured, said the competition "adds a massive layer of excitement" to what "already promises to be another highly competitive season".
