Ryan Moore out for over a month

Ryan Moore is likely to be out of action for "more than a month" after being injured in a stalls incident at Newmarket on Thursday.

The former champion jockey was visited in Addenbrooke's Hospital in Cambridge on Saturday by his father, trainer Gary Moore, as he awaits a verdict on the results of the MRI scan he underwent on Friday.

Moore was hurt when his mount, Newton's Law, reared up and became trapped under the stalls before the final race on the opening day of the July meeting.

While the rider walked away from the scene, Moore was reported to be complaining of pain in his neck and was taken to where he has been undergoing further examination, which is understood to have included investigation into potentially damaged vertebrae.

His father said this afternoon: "He's had his scan, he's just waiting for someone to read him the results.

"He's fairly comfortable, but he will be out for a while. He will be out for more than a month."

Moore senior said earlier in the day: "It's been a bit long-winded, but they're trying their best to sort things out for him."

Moore, who is first jockey to Aidan O'Brien, was forced to miss the final two days of the big meeting and has no rides booked for Monday.

He is also not down to ride O'Brien's Archangel Raphael in Tuesday's Grand Prix de Paris at Longchamp, with Joseph O'Brien taking the mount in the Group One event.

Speaking on Channel 4, O'Brien said: "It was an unfortunate thing, I think he's going to know in the next couple of days how long it is going be.

"Obviously it is going to take time like every injury, but please God he'll be perfect."
