Fehily in good form after surgery

Noel Fehily was last night recovering well in hospital following surgery on the leg he injured in the fall on State Of Play in Saturday’s John Smith’s Grand National at Aintree.

Fehily, who fractured his right leg in three places, tweeted: “Op went well. Had a rod put through my tibia from knee to ankle. More comfortable now.”

Meanwhile, Nathan Cook, the conditional jockey airlifted to Cardiff General Hospital following a fall at Ffos Las on Sunday, is “fine” and will be back at work later this week.

Cook is employed by trainer Tom Symonds, who on Monday said: “Nathan was knocked out in the fall and it looked a little ominous, but happily all the tests were normal and he was released from hospital after a few hours.”

Symonds added: “I’ve just spoken to Nathan and he said that apart from being a bit sore he’s fine. He wants to be back at work later this week.”
