Bryony Frost will take a few days off following a fall while schooling yesterday but remains on course to partner Red Risk in the Howden Long Walk Hurdle at Ascot on Saturday.
Frost, who was just denied in the December Gold Cup on Il Ridoto on Saturday, had been due to ride at Fakenham on Tuesday and Newbury on Wednesday, but will now miss racing at the respective meetings in order to ensure she recovers fully in time for her Grade 1 assignment this weekend.
The 28-year-old is also set to partner fan-favourite Frodon in the King George at Kempton on Boxing Day.
Frost's agent Iain Turner said: "She's had a spill while schooling and we're planning on her being back at the weekend.
"It's one of those – with Boxing Day coming up it's just a case of not taking any risks, which is frustrating as she had some nice chances at Fakenham.
"She's been on a good run since her injury, and of course, she was just touched off in the December Gold Cup on Il Ridoto on Saturday, so this has just halted everything.
"As far as I know everything is set for her being back at Ascot on Friday, then she's got Red Risk in the Long Walk and Frodon on Boxing Day to look forward to."
