Walsh In The Wars Ruby Walsh was fortunate to escape serious injury after taking a crashing fall from Sporazene in the Steel Plate And Sections Hurdle at Cheltenham. The Irishman, who has only recently returned to the saddle after suffering a dislocated shoulder, parted company with the grey in the closing stages of the race, and was quickly attended to by medical staff. However, clerk of the course Simon Claisse said: 'The doctors have checked him over and he is fine. 'He is a bit shaken, but there are no broken bones.' Walsh had enjoyed a much better start to the day when riding a double for Sporazene´s trainer Paul Nicholls, including the hugely-impressive Denman in the Grade One stanjamesuk.com Challow Hurdle.(C) PA Sport
