FOUR months of frustration will come to an end when Adrian Maguire returns to race riding at Stratford tomorrow.
The Meathman makes his long overdue comeback after recovering from a broken collarbone sustained at Newbury on March 1st.
Maguire takes two rides tomorrow, Dino Malta and Rolfe, both for his boss David Nicholson.
"It's been a long haul but everything's fine now and I'm looking forward to it," he said yesterday.
Maguire, 25, Was rated a future champion when he first came to Britain but has had his progress hampered by a catalogue of injuries.
The jockey's tale of woe began in April last year when a broken arm ruled him out for four months.
He then cracked a bone in his leg at Ascot and suffered a damaged knee last season before the Newbury injury.
Maguire has seen another young Irishman, Tony McCoy, become champion while he has fought to regain fitness.
