Dual Derby winning jockey Clare Lindop will take a break from Australian racing before returning to prepare for the spring carnival and a reunion with Cups hope Rebel Raider.

Lindop celebrated her 30th birthday on Monday, two days after Rebel Raider added the South Australian Derby to his Victoria Derby triumph in the spring.

England will be the destination for Lindop who hopes to at least ride trackwork there while on holiday.

"I'm going to spend six weeks in England in June and July," Lindop told Melbourne radio Sport927.

"My sister lives in London and I will be there for Royal Ascot week.

"I've always wanted to experience riding on the Downs and at Newmarket.

"I'm treating it as a holiday but it might turn into a working holiday."

Lindop said it was the ideal time to take a break as she was not in contention for the Adelaide premiership and Rebel Raider would be in the spelling paddock.

She has ridden in three Melbourne Cups with her best finish so far fifth on Dolphin Jo in 2007.

Lindop has no doubt Rebel Raider will be by far her best chance to win Australia's most famous race.

"I've had three Melbourne Cup rides and I'm looking forward to my fourth," she said.

"Rebel Raider is a genuine stayer and I think two miles won't be a problem.

"Of course there's a lot of water to go under the bridge before then."

While she is at Royal Ascot, Lindop will be among the Australians cheering on Takeover Target.

She rode Augusta Proud to fourth in Saturday's Goodwood won by the international sprint star and said it was a thrill to be in the race.

"It was such a thrill, what an awesome horse," she said.

"Augusta Proud was right on his hammer but in the end she has run fourth, beaten two lengths, in what was probably the best race of her career."

Rebel Raider's SA Derby win propelled him to the top of Betstar's Melbourne Cup market at $17 while he is on the second line of betting at $21 for the Caulfield Cup with C'est Le Guerre at $17.
