“Robbie’s got concussion, multiple facial lacerations and dental injuries,” said Dr Adrian McGoldrick, the Irish Turf Club’s senior medical officer.

“He had temporary treatment in Sligo Hospital yesterday and he’s seeing his dentist today. He should be back for Galway.”

Power has enjoyed a brilliant 2017, winning the Cheltenham, Irish and Punchestown Gold Cups on Sizing John and the Irish Grand National on Our Duke.
