Hughes ready for another title battle

RICHARD HUGHES has confirmed his intention to have another serious attempt at winning the Flat jockeys championship.

The 38-year-old went so close to landing the title in 2010, his prolonged duel with Paul Hanagan brightening up the last weeks of the Flat season.

It went all the way through until the last day of the season at Doncaster in November with Hughes eventually going down by two (191-189) to his great rival.
