Walsh set to make dramatic return at Listowel

RUBY WALSH is set to make a dramatic return to racing at the Listowel festival, which starts this coming Sunday.

He has been out of action since taking a fall off Friendly Society at the first hurdle in a handicap at Killarney on July 12.

Walsh was subsequently able to walk back to the weigh-room, but tests the following morning at Cork University Hospital revealed he had fractured two vertebrae in his neck and was going to have to endure yet another long spell on the sidelines.
