Nico de Boinville was set to head home on Tuesday after spending the night in hospital following a fall at Plumpton.
The 35-year-old was treated on track and reported to be conscious before being taken to Royal Sussex County Hospital in Brighton for further assessment, after parting company with Nicky Henderson’s As The Fella Says at the first flight in the Southern Cranes Novices’ Handicap Hurdle.
“Nico is fine and he will be on his way home today, hopefully he is all good,” said De Boinville’s agent Sam Stronge.
“He got a nasty fall, but I’ve spoken to him this morning and he’s set to go home today and we’ll know more in the next few days.”
It is still to be determined when De Boinville will return to the saddle in a week where one of his star mounts, Jonbon, is due to run in Sandown’s bet365 Celebration Chase on Saturday.
Stronge added: “I’m not sure what the plan will be and obviously Nico is not riding today, but I think he’s just going to get home, see how he is and go from there.”
