Timmy Murphy expects to return to the saddle next month after spending a lengthy spell on the sidelines with injury.

The 2008 Grand National-winning jockey dislocated his shoulder when parting company with Highland River at Newton Abbot on July 19.

"The specialist thinks we'll be looking at the middle of September and see how we feel then," Murphy told At The Races.

"I'm not missing a whole lot at the moment so if there is a good time to get injured, then this is it.

"It's just one of those injuries where if you try and do too much it sets you back rather than helps you.

"But I'd hope to maybe get on a horse next week and see how it feels."
