Ruby Walsh hoping to make Cheltenham © Photo Healy Racing
Ruby Walsh is confident he will be fit to ride at the Cheltenham Festival in March.
The jockey's season was derailed on Saturday when he sustained a broken leg in a fall from Let's Dance at Punchestown.
Walsh's leg does not require an operation, though, and he told Racing UK: "Hopefully it will heal quickly. A broken leg is usually 12 weeks, give or take - (there is) 16 weeks and three days from the fall to the Cheltenham Festival. I have 15 and a half (weeks), or 15 and three-quarters to be ready."
He added: "I don't think it matters how much experience you have. You can only do what the doctors tell you and be as patient as you can."
