Virus keeps Lee on sidelines No date has been set for Graham Lee's return to the saddle as he continues to suffer with a virus. The Grand National-winning jockey, who won the Ascot Gold Cup a little over 12 months ago on Trip To Paris, was a notable absentee from the big meeting last week. He has been out of action for over two weeks with a virus and there is no sign of an imminent return. His agent Richard Hale said: "There's no date set. "It won't be for a week or two yet, I wouldn't have thought. "It seems to be a virus that he can't shake off. "It's the worst time of year for it, I've had a couple of people on this morning asking for him but I can't tell them anything at the moment."
