Mick Kinane, who fractured his right wrist in two places after a fall last month, is hoping to have the plaster cast removed tomorrow.

The leading Irish jockey was involved in a nasty incident at the Curragh which caused the break, where he was brought down when another horse slipped and fell.

Fran Berry, the other jockey involved in the collision, suffered neck injuries while Kinane has been forced to sit out high-profile rides such as Azamour in the Irish Champion Stakes.

Kinane’s wife Catherine said: “He’s doing very well at the moment. He is going to see a specialist tomorrow and hopefully he will have the plaster taken off. We will know a lot more tomorrow.”
