Walsh to be assessed by his surgeon

RUBY Walsh is to be assessed by his own surgeon today after dislocating his shoulder at Cheltenham.

Walsh was expected back home last night after sustaining the injury in a crashing fall aboard the ill-fated Willyanwoody, trained by Paul Nicholls, in the Club 16-24 Novices’ Chase on Saturday.

The jockey was taken to Cheltenham General Hospital, where he had his shoulder put back into place.
