I'm surprised Clare Barry in The Irish Field hasn't mentioned it in her column. She usually has an update on injured jockeys.
Maybe someone will send the Irish Field an email so we know!!

NINA CARBERRY begins her build up to several good rides at the Cheltenham Festival at Downpatrick on Wednesday, asshe takes to the saddle for the first time since fracturing a foot at Leopardstown on January 23. Nina Carberry
Carberry, who partners Jim Bowie for boss Noel Meade in the bumper at the Northern Ireland track, was riding Timesawastin when the pair hit the rail and a part of it punctured the jockeys left boot and foot.
"Five weeks is such a long time to be off," she said on Tuesday. "It feels like I haven't ridden for a year and I'm really looking forward to getting going.
"It was a bad cut that had to heal and the problem was that the fracture was in an awkward place and it still hasn't healed completely, but the doctors are happy with it and it doesn't affect my riding."
Already booked for the ride on Dun Doire in the Christie's Foxhunter Chase, Carberry will again be on the Enda Bolger-trained Garde Champetre in the Glenfarclas Handicap Chase (cross country) and hopes to ride Becauseicouldntsee for Noel Glynn in the National Hunt Chase.
