Cobden ready to start riding out after summer on the sidelines

Harry Cobden will ride out for Paul Nicholls on Friday for the first time since he broke his neck in a race fall in June.

Cobden, the new first jockey to the ten-times champion jumps trainer, received clearance to step up his recovery after his consultant examined the latest scans of the injury

As a result the 19-year-old rider has his sights set on taking his first racecourse rides next month once he has regained full race-riding fitness.
