February return for Le Richebourg Joseph O'Brien has indicated that a February return is likely for last season's dual Grade 1 winning chaser Le Richebourg who continues to recover from injury. The six-year-old was strongly fancied for last season’s Arkle at the Cheltenham Festival after doubling his Grade 1 tally in the Irish version at Leopardstown in February — but injury then intervened. O’Brien said: “Le Richebourg had three or fourth months off through injury but is back in work now and seems to be moving well and is in good shape. “He is a very good-looking horse, and an exciting horse. He is more likely to return in February.”
