The Roan Ranger and Claudys Hero will try to improve on recent placings when they race at Melton’s Friday night meeting.

The Roan Ranger, who has recorded a win and a second placing during August, will contest the opening event with Sophie Jefferies in the driving seat.

The gelding recorded a best winning mile rate of 1:56.8 in his win at Melton on August 2, an indicator of his ability.
