Jockey Josh Moore faces a spell on the sidelines after sustaining broken ribs and fractured vertebrae in a fall at Plumpton on Botox Has on Monday.
Five-year-old Botox Has was having his first run over the larger obstacles at Plumpton when he fell at the 11th fence, having made a jumping error at the previous obstacle.
Jockey Moore was sent over the head of the horse and was briefly unconscious before being taken to Sussex County Hospital, where he stayed overnight.
The three-runner race was eventually won by seven-year-old Up The Straight, trained by Richard Rowe and ridden by claiming jockey Niall Houlihan.
Sky Sports Racing pundit Hayley Moore - sister of Josh - confirmed on Twitter on Tuesday morning that he has suffered broken ribs and fractured vertebrae, and is expected to have a spell on the sidelines as a result.
Moore has previously ridden the likes of Ar Mad to Grade One victory in the 2015 Henry VIII Novices' Chase at Sandown, and also enjoyed Sodexo Gold Cup success on Traffic Fluide at Ascot in 2018.
