Hughes may get a Yorkshire punch
Richard Hughes is on standby to ride Persian Punch in Thursday’s Merewood Homes Yorkshire Cup if regular partner Richard Quinn is claimed by his boss Henry Cecil.
Quinn has ridden Persian Punch in five of his last six races, including when the pair chased home Give Notice in the Sagaro Stakes at Ascot earlier this month.
