Tingle Creek Aim for Ruby Walsh Three weeks is the time frame that Ruby Walsh is planning to get back into action by, after surgery to remove his spleen on Saturday night. The Kildare man underwent the surgery after being kicked in the stomach and rupturing his spleen in a fall from Pride Of Dulcote in the Cleanevent Handicap Hurdle at Cheltenham on Paddy Power Gold Cup Chase Day. A year ago on the same day, the multiple Irish champion dislocated a shoulder and was sidelined until Christmas in a terrible spill from Willyanwoody. Sam Thomas, who replaced Walsh at Cheltenham on Sunday, including aboard impressive winner Tatenen, will deputise while Walsh is sidelined. According to Paul Nicholls, Walsh hopes to resume to team-up with Master Minded in the Tingle Creek Chase on December 6th.
