RIBBLE Assembly ran a good race at Wetherby yesterday coming fourth in the opening novice hurdle.

Unfortunately, last night he had a big swelling on his front right knee after making a bad mistake in the back straight four hurdles out.

Hopefully it is nothing too serious and he will be back at the races in three or four weeks.

There's not very much racing this week, only Wednesday and Thursday left. At Musselburgh Door to Door and Pure Value must have good chances on Wednesday.

On Thursday, Ferdy Murphy should go close with his Paris Pike at Carlisle, while at the same venue Fassan should oblige for us.

Have a good week.
