February return for sidelined pilot

Jockey Henry Brooke hopes to return to the saddle next month after suffering a broken collarbone at Ascot on Saturday. Brooke, who claims 3lb, fell from Bunclody at the ninth fence of the Rosling King LLP Novices' Limited Handicap Chase. He said: "I'm all right in myself - just a bit stiff and sore. It was the AC (acromioclavicular) joint that I've broken, so it's quite a bad one. "It was a nasty fall, though, and it could've been a lot worse. Hopefully I'll be back in a few weeks' time, so it's not the end of the world."
