Brassil and Slevin join growing list of sidelined riders

A steady stream of patients to Dr Paddy Kenny's surgery at Connolly Hospital in Dublin is a sure sign the jumps season is cranking up and there are a few more additions to the list following Gowran Park's two-day fixture.

With Barry Geraghty and Jack Kennedy already sidelined, it was another attritional weekend in the jockey ranks.

Conor Brassil faces up to six weeks on the sidelines after fracturing his collarbone when Call Vinnie crashed out when in front at the final flight at Gowran on Friday, while fellow 7lb claimer JJ Slevin is set for a similar layoff after breaking his leg and bruising a kidney when unseated from Ash Rowe in the same race.
