Frost, who last week became the first woman to ride a top-level Grade One Cheltenham Festival winner aboard Frodon in the Ryanair Chase, was injured after falling from Midnight Bliss at Southwell on Monday.

"Yesterday I went to see an extremely good specialist in Cardiff where my X-ray results have shown that I've fractured my clavicle," Frost said in a blog for betting company Matchbook.

"I suffered a fracture previously which healed well under pressure. My body's response from that fracture makes me positive for when I go back for my assessment in a fortnight's time and a swift return."
