Paul Carberry, who fractured his collarbone in a skiing accident last month, will not be back in action this weekend as previously hoped but expects to be back race riding within the next week.

The former champion jump jockey reports his collarbone has healed well but is having discomfort with the flare up of an old injury.

“I was with Paddy Kenny yesterday and got an injection for bicep tendonitis. It affects my shoulder and the pain then runs down the arm. He told me to hold off coming back for another week, so I had better take his advice!” said Carberry.

“I rode out in Noel’s (Meade) this morning and it felt good, and I have been riding a few at home this week,” he added.

Meanwhile Turf Club doctor Adrian McGoldrick reports that Mark Enright, who suffered concussion in a fall at Naas 12 days ago, will hopefully be back in action soon.

“He took the concussion test this morning and, depending on the results, could be back riding this weekend,” said McGoldrick.
