Injured Walsh misses National mount

Ruby Walsh was replaced by Ryan Mahon on Michel Le Bon in the Coral Welsh National after two falls earlier in the day.

Walsh was still in with a chance in the Coral Mobile Text “Mobile” To 82211 Handicap Chase when he crashed out at the final fence, with the jockey sliding into the running rail, while Roger Beantown came to grief in the following three-mile handicap hurdle.

Michel Le Bon is trained by Paul Nicholls and his assistant Dan Skelton said: “I was waiting for him when he came back in the ambulance and when he got out he said his shoulder was hurting like hell.

“I asked him if he could ride and he said no way.”
