ANOTHER Cheltenham winner, The Druid’s Nephew, will need a replacement jockey in the National following Barry Geraghty’s fall at Downpatrick on Sunday. Geraghty, who fractured his shin, is hoping to be back in time for Punchestown but will certainly miss Aintree.

Neil Mulholland sensibly declined to mention any names regarding The Druid’s Nephew, currently a 14/1 shot, and will wait to see who is available nearer the time.
