Barry Geraghty will miss the Galway festival after sustaining a broken right arm in a fall at Market Rasen yesterday.

Geraghty suffered the injury after falling from the Tom George-trained Cernunnos, owned by his employer JP McManus, in the Summer Plate Handicap Chase. The pair were still in contention when coming down at the final fence.
