Munro stood down until next summer

Alan Munro, out of action since suffering a convulsion in August, has been stood down until next summer, but insisted that he will return to the sport.

The jockey has been told he must sit out a 12-month 'observation period' from the date of the incident (August 20), which occurred on a flight to partner Peter Chapple-Hyam's Dutch Art in the Prix Morny at Deauville.
