Gerald Ryan has dismissed speculation Sydney apprentice Mitchell Beadman could be considering a move to Queensland after he has his first ride at Eagle Farm.

Beadman, the son of champion jockey Darren Beadman, has accepted an offer from connections to ride the Dwayne Schmidt-trained The Roman in Wednesday's Mimiki Foundation Handicap (1200m).

"Mitchell is going up for the one ride and is coming straight back to Sydney," Ryan said.

Beadman has been involved in his fair share of controversy during his apprenticeship which has seen him shift between several stables.

However, the 20-year-old's career appears to be back on track after linking with Ryan when he rode two metropolitan winners in a week at Randwick and Canterbury in May.

Beadman returned a fortnight ago from an overseas holiday where he spent time with his father in Hong Kong and watched him ride at Royal Ascot in England.

"He spent 10 days with Darren in Hong Kong and then had holiday in England watching races at Royal Ascot," Ryan said.

"He's got one ride at Gosford today and is going up to ride one in Brisbane as a favour for the owners."

Ryan said Beadman was working hard to get his weight and fitness under control doing gym work with prominent boxing trainer Johnny Lewis in Sydney.

"He's been training with Johnny Lewis for the past three weeks to get fit and he's really putting his mind to things," he said.

Ryan believes Beadman's troubled past has stemmed mostly from a lack of maturity.

"He's a good kid and is going well now," Ryan said.

"He's just been a kid growing up and maturity has been the cause of most of his problems.

"They all go through it at some stage. He's a very good trackwork rider and he's a very good judge.

"He's only got about four months to go before he serves out his time with me but he's hoping to get an extension."

The Roman is on the comeback trail after injury forced the gelding to the spelling paddock following an easy win in a class two event at Ipswich last November.

Schmidt is worried about The Roman's fitness level but expects a strong first-up performance.

"He's had bad legs most of his career and has bowed a tendon and broken down twice for me," Schmidt said.

"The owners were struggling to find a suitable rider when they heard Mitchell was back from holidays and might come up."
