Fehily hoping for swift return

NOEL Fehily should be fit to ride Kauto Star in the William Hill King George VI Chase at Kempton on Boxing Day.

Fehily has been the main beneficiary of Ruby Walsh’s unfortunate injury but was then struck down himself when it appeared he had broken his wrist at Newbury last week.

However, after visiting a specialist, Fehily’s injury was confirmed as a dislocation and there is even a possibility he could be riding within the next 10 days.
