Mullins looking doubtful for festival Emmet Mullins could miss the Cheltenham Festival after suffering a suspected fractured rib at Naas on Wednesday. The highly-rated youngster sustained the injury when falling from Mystic Mayfly in a two-mile maiden hurdle. Mullins was taken to Naas Hospital, where X-rays revealed the extent of the damage caused by the fall. The jockey said: "The doctors say I have a suspected fracture, but I'm waiting to get a second opinion and hopefully I'll get that on Friday. "I really don't want to rule out Cheltenham yet as I'm in for a couple of rides, including Quiscover Fontaine in the Arkle, so we'll see what happens."
