Kielan Woods is facing a battle to be fit for this weekend's Grand National. 

The Athlone man suffered a fall in the 2m3f handicap hurdle at Fontwell and is now recovering in hospital. 

The 32-year-old was aboard Mammies Boy, trained by Nick Scholfield, when he was unseated at the sixth hurdle and subsequently seemed to be accidentally struck by another runner, Galactic Charm.

Woods is scheduled to partner Marble Sands in the Randox sponsored race at Aintree tomorrow.
