Quel Esprit can rebound in Champion Novice

A year ago I was injured, working for RTE and watching Willie Mullins and Paul Townend combine to land winner after winner at Punchestown.

As I prepared to put this together yesterday, on my way to ride at Limerick, the thought did cross my mind that getting injured again, and missing another Punchestown, would be less than pleasant.

Thankfully, I got out of Limerick unscathed and it is now a case, hopefully, of all guns blazing for the next five days.
