Jockey Oisin Murphy secures ride in £1.25 million race on comeback from 14-month ban

Oisin Murphy has snared his first big race ride ahead of his comeback from a 14-month ban after being named to partner Royal Ascot winner Missed The Cut in Saudi Arabia on February 25.

The three-time champion jockey is due to complete the suspension he received for misleading the BHA when he broke Covid rules in 2020 and failing two alcohol breath tests in 2021 next week.

One of his first big rides will be on the highly progressive Missed The Cut, who will challenge for the £1.25m Neom Turf Cup in Riyadh on February 25 for Newmarket trainer George Boughey.
