Timmy Murphy returns to action at Newton Abbot tonight having spent nearly two months off with a broken right arm.

The Irishman has four rides at the Devon track, all for boss David Johnson and trainer Martin Pipe, starting off with Lutea in the Herald Express Ladies Day Handicap Hurdle.

Murphy had to have his arm plated and pinned after a fall at Punchestown on April 26.
