Jockey Jack Kennedy is to miss the upcoming festivals at Aintree, Fairyhouse and Punchestown.

He's going to sit out the rest of the National Hunt season to recover from a couple of knocks taken at last month's Cheltenham Festival.

Kennedy has told The Racing Post that it's 'extremely frustrating' to face another spell on the sidelines.

He said he's hoping to return fully fit in time for the Galway Races in July.
