Walsh back for the end of February

Ruby Walsh expects to be back race-riding by the end of February, in time for the Cheltenham Festival.

Walsh, who suffered a double fracture of his right leg in a fall at Down Royal on November 6, stated: "things are going well. I went back for another check-up on my leg on Wednesday and my doctor is very happy with the way it's progressing.

"I'm really looking forward to getting back race-riding, and if things continue to go well I would expect to be back in action before the end of the month."
