Up-and-coming young jockey Dylan Robinson is likely to miss the rest of the summer after he fractured a wrist at Tipperary on Thursday evening.

Robinson sustained the injury when the Paul Nolan-trained Whitango stumbled and fell at the first flight of a three-mile handicap hurdle.

Turf Club senior medical officer Dr Adrian McGoldrick said: "Dylan will undergo surgery and he's likely to be out of action for a few months."

Weighing-room colleague Mark Walsh also faces a spell on the sidelines after he suffered a fractured cheekbone on the same card.

Walsh fell from the Noel Meade-trained Itsallhappening at the fourth flight of another three-mile handicap hurdle.

McGoldrick said: " Mark will see a facial specialist next week for a review.

"I haven't received all of the details, but with something like this you are looking at around three weeks out."
