Davy Russell has been stood down by the doctor on day three of the Cheltenham Festival.
The top jockey fell heavily from Conflated in the Ryanair Chase, when chasing eventual winner Allaho up the straight. Russell, due to ride Gold Cup favourite Galvin on Friday, also took a bad tumble from Sassy Yet Classy in the previous contest.
The 42-year-old was due to race three more times today, but was signed off by the on-course medical team. Russell's remaining rides were reallocated – and Jack Kennedy took the reins on Grand Paradis in the Plate, plus Party Central in the mares' novice' hurdle.
