David Casey is likely to make a swift return to action following a heavy fall on the final day of the Galway Festival.

Casey was partnering the Arthur Moore-trained Mitebeall Forluck at Ballyrbit when he was unseated at the second fence.

The jockey was unable to take up his ride aboard Damut at Cork on Monday after being stood down by the Irish Turf Club's chief medical advisor Adrian McGoldrick, but his injuries are not serious.

McGoldrick said: "He got a kick on his kidney and there's some bruising there, but I spoke to him this morning and he was in good spirits.

"There was some blood in his urine, so I stood him down today, but all the X-rays came back clear.
