Fuller has sights set on December return

Page Fuller, who broke her ankle at Stratford in August, hopes to be back race-riding next month.

"Hopefully I'll be riding out on Thursday," said Fuller, 21, who needed a broken bone in her ankle pinned after being unseated from Culm Counsellor in an amateur riders' handicap hurdle on August 18.

The rider, who has partnered eight winners under rules and works for trainer Jamie Snowden, added: "It was a relatively soft fall but the ground was hard and I've had to be off for three months, which was frustrating as I was getting plenty of rides and couldn't believe where I'd got to in a year.

"All being well I'm aiming for three weeks to my first ride back depending how the ankle takes it and I'm looking forward to the point-to-point season as well.

"Thanks to Oaksey House – where I went six weeks after the op and have been slowly building up – I feel fitter than ever."
