CIEREN Fallon will be out of action for the next few months following a fall at Windsor on Monday. The 25-year-old had been enjoying a purple patch of winners recently but suffered a broken back when he was unshipped from his mount returning to the paddock after a race at Windsor.

Fallon said: “It’s definitely come at the wrong time. There’s never a good time to have an injury but especially in the middle of the season when you are knocking in the winners left, right and centre.

“It’s just one of those things and I had an injury in the winter and recovered well, so if I recover well again, I can get ready for the back-end of the season.

“There’s no timescale been given, but luckily I don’t need any operations or surgery and that’s a plus. It’s still a bit of an unknown really about how long it is going to be but I’m getting the best treatment I can and hope to be back as soon as possible.”
