Ruby hoping to return at Punchestown

Ruby Walsh is confident he will be back riding in time for the Punchestown festival, which starts on Tuesday, April 29.

Walsh has been on the sidelines since dislocating his right shoulder and fracturing the top of his humerus in a horror fall at Cheltenham last month.

He was aboard the front running Abbyssial for Willie Mullins in the JCB Triumph Hurdle when the horse fell at the second flight.
