Balthazar King is on course to return to training in December after recovering from being injured in the Crabbie's Grand National


Balthazar King is on course to return to training in December after recovering from being injured in the Crabbie's Grand National.

The 11-year-old, trained by Philip Hobbs, has been ridden out regularly since September as he builds up for a comeback following his accident in the Aintree showpiece in April.

The Cheltenham cross-country specialist, who had finished second in the 2014 National, suffered broken ribs after being cannoned into by another horse when falling at the Canal Turn and spent some time at the University of Liverpool's equine hospital.

"He is feeling well and has been ridden since the start of September including some enjoyable days out hunting," Hobbs wrote on Facebook.

"He is due back in training at the start of December." .. ..
