Adrian Maguire plans to ride out today - just 12 days after fracturing his right arm in a fall at Sandown. Maguire has been delighted with his progress and is optimistic he could return before the Kempton meeting on St Stephen's Day.

"I'm really feeling good now," he said. "I've been doing as much as I can, including quite a bit of swimming. I didn't actually break the arm, it was a fracture, so it was never going to take that long.

"It was just above the wrist and from day one it wasn't that painful." Apart from Barton Bank in the King George VI Chase, Maguire is also likely to partner David Nicholson's Zaralaska and Sanmartino at Kempton tomorrow week.

Unless Maguire made a surprise return this weekend, his likely return would be next Monday, as there are no fixtures on Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday.

Maguire suffered the injury as he fell from Mulligan when the horse was distracted by a race-goer at the second last fence, jumping up and down and waving his arms around.

Aintree announced yesterday that they are seeking help from the public in finding old Grand National or Aintree memorabilia. The track's new Visitor Centre, due to open next summer, will feature a museum of artefacts to include trophies, prints, saddles, colours and documents.

Exeter's meeting yesterday afternoon was abandoned due to heavy snow.
