ADRIAN MAGUIRE yesterday refused to set himself any targets on the eve of his return to race-riding after a four-month lay-off. The injury-hit jump jockey, who has been forced to miss the last three Cheltenham Festivals, makes a belated start to the season with four rides at Worcester today - his first mounts since he broke an arm in February.

"I am not setting any targets," the Meath rider said. "I just want to get back riding a few winners and hope to have a good season.

"While I was off I holidayed round Ireland and spent a couple of days in Spain, but I am delighted to be back and I'm very much looking forward to tomorrow.

"I have been riding out for about 10 days now and there have been no problems, I am feeling really good."
