Jamie Mott is keen to chalk up his first winner over the jumps before the end of winter and rates himself a genuine chance of achieving the milestone at Sandown on Wednesday.

Mott plans to continue combining riding on the flat and over jumps and made his hurdle debut in a race at Warrnambool in late June, finishing a distant fourth in a five-horse field on Cottonwood Sky.

He is booked to have his second and third race rides over the obstacles at Sandown on Jooli Lad for trainer Ciaron Maher in the steeplechase event and the David Hayes and Tom Dabernig-trained Auld Burns in the hurdle.

Mott is also booked for one ride in a benchmark race on the flat.

"I'm really excited," Mott said.

Jooli Lad fell in a steeplechase race as favourite at Casterton last month but won his two previous steeplechase starts at Sandown and Warrnambool.

"If he can produce something like that I would say he should be a pretty good chance," Mott said.

Mott rode Auld Burns in a 2000-metre flat race at Geelong on Friday and thought his run was good under 63kg despite finishing eighth.

The seven-year-old gelding has had four hurdle starts this year, winning at Oakbank in April and placing in another at Morphettville in June.

"I really want to get a winner before the end of the (jumps) season. Hopefully I can do it tomorrow and it will put me in good stead for next season," Mott said.

"I haven't had a great deal of opportunities as yet. But I'm sure they will come eventually."

The Sandown meeting is scheduled to feature a return to race riding for Cox Plate-winning jockey Chad Schofield from a neck injury.

Schofield fractured a vertebrae in his neck in a three-horse fall at Cranbourne on June 8, a day after he won the Group One Queensland Derby on Sonntag.

Schofield, who won four Group Ones last season, is booked to ride three-year-old Honey Bunch in a maiden at Sandown.
