Winning return for Hughes at Lingfield

Richard Hughes returned to Britain for his first rides of the year and started as he means to go on with the win of Arctic Desert at Lingfield.

Looking tanned and well after riding in India, spending some time at home in Ireland and enjoying a relaxing break in Barbados, Hughes gave the 10-1 winner exactly the sort of ride which he enjoys the most as he cruised home without having to resort to using the whip more than once.
