Noel Fehily is reported to have escaped serious injury in a fall at Newton Abbot on Wednesday.

The 40-year-old was airlifted to Derriford Hospital in Plymouth for precautionary X-rays on his back after he parted company with the Nick Mitchell-trained Hinxworth in the totepool Chip And Pin Betting Handicap Hurdle.

Mitchell revealed Fehily spent the night in hospital but suffered no serious damage as a result of the fall.

He tweeted: "Delighted to hear that Noel Fehily is fine. Kept in overnight but just badly bruised."
