posted in: News

Hugo Maguire and Claudys Hero will race over the 1720m distance at Melton’s Friday meeting.

Gelding Hugo Maguire will have his third start of his current campaign, looking to improve on his last start second, also over the mile at Melton.

He’s the pre-race fixed odds favourite with the bookies, and goes off the inside of the second row, with Chris Alford in the driving seat.
