Nico de Boinville podría regresar de lesión a tiempo para montar a Shishkin en Newbury la próxima semana

He was stood down by a doctor at Chepstow three days later and has not ridden since. “He’s taken an easy week as it was giving him a bit of grief,” said Stronge. “He needed a few more days to let it settle down. We’ll see how it is and hopefully try to be back for Newbury.”

“We’re taking it day by day and he’s just giving it a bit more time because we rushed it initially to try to be back for Jonbon in the Clarence House at Ascot, which didn’t happen because of the weather. The difficult thing was you can’t pick and choose, riding one here and two there. If Nicky had five in, he had to ride all five and it’s a busy time of year, so you’re straight back into the thick of it. Hindsight is a wonderful thing, but perhaps he just needed another week.”

“I haven’t spoken to him for a couple of days so I’ll see what he thinks, but hopefully he’ll be back soon.” De Boinville has ridden 45 winners this season, with all but one of those successes coming for the Lambourn-based Henderson.
