Nico de Boinville is on the road to recovery following broken ribs a nasty neck injury that saw him required to wear a brace.
Nicky Henderson’s stable jockey was kicked in the back after a fall at Plumpton on Easter Monday that ruled him out of the end of the season.
Henderson was able to offer a positive update, with a September return on the cards.
“I’m pleased to report that Nico is recovering very well and has just started the process of rehabilitation, whereby he’s free of all neck braces and things like that, so is now able to fully begin his route to getting back in the saddle,” the Seven Barrows handler told Unibet.
“He can now go full-on fitness-wise, and if all goes well, which it should, he’ll be back on a horse in a few weeks.
“He hasn’t set a date for his return, because there is obviously no need to rush back for anything, but he’s hoping to be ready at some stage in September, which is all very good news.”
