Tom Marquand says the door is well and truly open for him to return to Sydney for the Golden Slipper and The Championships.

Despite calls from fans on social media for him to stay, the popular UK hoop’s second Sydney stint comes to an end on February 15 when he returns home to prepare for the English flat season.

However, a two-year-old group 3 double on Prague and Away Game last Saturday has whet the appetite for potential rides in the rich group 1 races approaching.

“It's a tricky one because, as The Championships are warming up, it's getting to the start of our season,’’ he said. “But opportunities don't come by too often to ride horses like those and, if my services were wanted for races like the Golden Slipper, I'd be straight back on a plane.’’
