Walsh out for a month after having spleen removed

RUBY WALSH faces between three and four weeks on the sidelines, following a fall off Pride Of Dulcote over hurdles at Cheltenham on Saturday.

On the exact same day a year earlier, he dislocated his shoulder at the meeting and, remarkably, history was to repeat itself.

Pride Of Dulcote contested a long distance handicap at Prestbury Park and was cruising going to the second last.
