MOORE’S CAMPAIGN LAUNCH
Rested Ryan is back
RYAN MOORE returns to British action for the first time this year at Lingfield’s Winter Million fixture today, with four rides for trainer George Boughey.
The leading jockey has enjoyed a well-earned break since riding in Hong Kong last month and Boughey has given him an excellent chance to hit the ground running by providing him with a strong book of rides.

Betuk’s Acca
Club £5 Free Bet Handicap aboard Ehteyat, who carries a 5lb penalty for a comfortable victory at Southwell last Sunday.
The four-year-old is drawn widest of all in stall 10, but Boughey is still anticipating another bold showing.
He said: “The track probably isn’t to his liking as he’s a big, strong staying type and he’s drawn widest of all.
“But the way he hits the line suggests he should stay the two miles pretty well.”
Boughey and Moore team up in the following TALKSPORT Powered By Fans Handicap with Pocket The Packet, who has won five times from eight starts since October.
But he is 13lb higher than when winning at Lingfield just over a week ago.
The Newmarket handler is hopeful about the chances of his final two runners on the card – Paris Lights (1.37)and All The King’s Men (2.12).
Boughey said: “Paris Lights is good and we slightly hoped he’d do what he did on stable debut.
“He looks progressive, he’s drawn in the middle and I hope he should run a big race. He goes there off a nice mark.
“All The King’s Men was gelded on arrival at the yard and his work has been good.”
