Geraghty waits on scan results for Aintree return
Barry Geraghty will have to wait a number of days before finding out if he will be declared fit to ride in next week's Aintree Grand National meeting.
The 37-year-old missed out on the Cheltenham Festival for the first time in his career and awaits the all-clear after having a scan on Tuesday morning.
JP McManus' retained rider suffered a collapsed lung and six broken ribs after a fall on Charli Parcs in the Adonis Juvenile Hurdle at Kempton on last month.
Geraghty is eager to return to ride Defi Du Seuil, Buveur D'Air and Stayers' Hurdle third Unowhatimeanharry at Aintree.
"Barry was having a scan this morning. We'll have to get the scan report to see if he is fit enough to go," said Dr Adrian McGoldrick, Irish Turf Club senior medical officer.
"That will be the end of this week or early next week."
Fellow McManus rider Mark Walsh was also due to see consultant orthopaedic surgeon Paddy Kenny after he fractured his left leg in a fall at Cheltenham Festival while standing in for Geraghty.
"We won't get a report on Mark Walsh's scan until Wednesday or Thursday," said Dr McGoldrick.
"The scan then has to go through for assessment. It normally takes about 48 hours."
