Walsh eyes Listowel return

Ruby Walsh hopes to be back in the saddle for the start of next month’s Listowel Festival.

The leading rider is out of action after suffering a broken ankle in a nasty fall in last week’s Galway Hurdle, in which he parted company with the Willie Mullins-trained Drive Time.

The first day of the Listowel Festival is September 17 and Walsh feels that date is a realistic target for his comeback.
