Racing Post Jockey Names -v- Betfair Jockey Names

[JIFFIJAW]

I use Racing Post Jockey statistics in my BA based bettingbot but find that the Betfair and Racing Post Jockey names don't always coincide -- and for instance Betfair jockey names given by BA put "." after initials. I am building a converter that recognises and converts Betfair Jockey names to RP Jockey names before looking up the statistics -- but it is a slow business as I check each day for non-matches and then "teach" my bot the right conversion name.

For instance:
Pat Smullen P J Smullen
Johnny Murtagh J Murtagh
Donal Fahy D P Fahy
Davy Russell D N Russell
B J Cooper Bryan J Cooper
Sean Flanagan S W Flanagan
Paul Carberry P Carberry
Michael Darcy M Darcy
Niall Madden N P Madden
Robbie Power R M Power
Roger Loughran R Loughran
Alain Cawley A P Cawley
Philip Enright P T Enright
Emmet McNamara E J McNamara
S Foley Shane Foley
Mr R J McCarth R J McCarth
Mr P J Carberry P J Carberry
Brian O'Connell B T O'Connell
Mr Paul J McMahon Mr P J McMahon
William Supple W J Supple
Keagan Latham K Latham
Mr D O'Connor Mr Derek O'Connor
C P Lemaire Christophe-Patrice Lemaire
Mr Alan Berry Mr A J Berry
Keith Donoghue K M Donoghue
Paul Townend P Townend
Connor Hoban C P Hoban
Davy Condon D J Condon
Miss P Ryan Miss Pauline Ryan
Colm O'Donoghue C O'Donoghue
Mr F Guy Mr Florent Guy
Mr Paul Power Mr P Power
