Paul Carberry is looking a doubt to make the Galway Festival after breaking his collarbone in an incident at Killarney on Tuesday night.

The admired jump jockey was riding Armaramak, who was brought down at the third-last fence in the MC Group Handicap Chase.

Carberry's agent Ciaran O'Toole said: "He has a broken collarbone, so you'd say Galway was looking unlikely but you never know, sometimes they heal up quickly."

There was better news of Robbie Power, who came off Corr Point in the same race.

"He'll be out for a week or so, he just had a bit of bruising on his sternum," O'Toole said.

Mark Enright fell from Ross Na Righ and Dr Adrian McGoldrick, the Turf Club's senior medical officer, reports the rider's initial tests to have come back clear.

He told At The Races: "I thought he might have fractured a vertebrae but his CT scan was clear. He's still in the hospital and will be reassessed, possibly for a MRI (scan) to make sure he hasn't fractured his T5 (vertebrae).

"He will probably need an MRI to confirm his spine is clear and if that's clear, he will need a bit of physio to mobilise him. Obviously if it's a fracture, you are looking at probably three months off. The MRI will tell us where we're at."

Moira McElligott was also unseated in the race and was reported to have suffered an ankle injury.

McGoldrick said: "Moira McElligott had a fracture and was operated on this morning and will go home tomorrow."

Philip Enright is likely to be sidelined until at least the end of August after damaging his wrist in a fall. Enright came down from the Henry de Bromhead-trained Bally Longford at the second-last fence in the Christy McSweeney Memorial Novice Chase.

His agent Frostie Kelly said: "Philip is having surgery on the wrist and at the moment it's looking like he'll be out for about six weeks."

Kelly also represents Andrew Lynch, who rode once for De Bromhead earlier in the evening, and had taken a tumble at Downpatrick on Monday.

"Andrew's going for X-rays," he said. "I haven't spoken to him again yet, but it was just soreness so hopefully it's nothing too serious."
