Tony McCoy will not ride at next week's Punchestown Festival after sustaining broken ribs in a fall at Cheltenham on Thursday.
McCoy, who will pick up his 18th jockeys' championship title next weekend, fell from Quantitativeeasing in the Barbury International Horse Trials Handicap Hurdle when Nicky Henderson's inmate stumbled at the second flight.
Following assessment at the track, McCoy was taken to Gloucestershire Royal Hospital, where X-rays revealed he had suffered broken ribs.
The jockey's personal assistant Gee Bradburne said: "Following the fall from Quantitativeeasing at Cheltenham, AP McCoy remains in Gloucestershire Hospital and is still very sore. He has broken a few ribs and was being assessed by the doctor when I spoke to him.
