Walsh expected back for Christmas

RUBY Walsh is expecting to be back in action for the busy Christmas period after dislocating his shoulder at Cheltenham on Saturday.

Walsh sustained the injury following a crashing fall from the ill-fated Willyanwoody in the Club 16-24 Novices’ Chase at Prestbury Park.

But his sister and agent Jennifer Walsh has confirmed there are no complications with the injury and he expects to be back in the saddle in around four to five weeks.
