Ryan Moore is back riding out following his spell on the sidelines, but will only return to racecourse action when the time is right, his father Gary Moore has said.

The former champion jockey has been sidelined since Glorious Goodwood due to a non-specified injury, with his last competitive ride being for Aidan O'Brien on Alice Springs in the Prix Rothschild at Deauville on July 31st.

There has been speculation of an imminent return, but Moore senior does not believe his son will be rushing back until he is completely recovered.

He said: "He is riding out. I think it has only been for a few days.

"When he is feeling well enough and when it is worth coming back, he will come back."

The final Classics of the year in Britain and Ireland fall on the high-profile weekend of September 10 and 11, which is also Irish Champions Weekend and the Arc Trials meeting in France.
