Carberry Aiming For Tuesday Return

Paul Carberry is on track to be back in the saddle on the first day of the Punchestown Festival next Tuesday.

The jockey has been out of action since injuring an ankle when Sir Oj came down at Becher's Brook on the second circuit in the John Smith's Grand National.

His agent, Ciaran O'Toole, said: 'He'll be back riding at the first day of Punchestown.

'He's fine at the moment but we just wanted to give the ankle as much time as possible to recover.

'He didn't want to risk it riding ordinary horses, he'd rather wait for the big guns next week.

'With a bit of luck, he'll be on Nicanor and Beef Or Salmon among others so he should have some nice horses to ride.'
