Famous Milly is reported to be none the worse following her heavy fall Coral Future Champions Finale Juvenile Hurdle at Chepstow on Saturday.

Gavin Cromwell's four-year-old had earned her tilt at the Grade One contest with a runaway victory in a Listed contest in similarly testing conditions at Aintree.

However, she was already beaten when coming to grief at the final flight and while she was winded on the ground for a while, she got to her feet and returned to Ireland safe and sound.

Cromwell, who claimed Welsh Grand National glory with the 13-year-old Raz De Maree on the same card, said: "Famous Milly has come out of it fine, thank god.

"She was just getting tired and was winded for a while, but she came home safe and sound and was out in the paddock with Raz De Maree on Sunday morning.

"We won't make any plans for her just yet."
