The Altaf Hussain-trained Magileto has a fair chance to land the spoils in the JE Hughes Trophy, a six-furlong sprint featuring as the prime event of the Friday card. She will be ridden by jockey Nikhil Parmar, who will have to be at his best to keep at bay the trio of equally good sprinters like Swift, Superlative and Baby Bazooka. The run of Coeur De Lion will also be watched with interest as he takes on some real speedballs after having asserted his class over the mile trip.
