Ruby Walsh will continue his rehabilitation ahead of the Cheltenham Festival when he rides in the annual pre-Cheltenham workouts at Leopardstown on Sunday.
The legendary Irish jockey has been out of the saddle for almost four months after he broke his leg at Down Royal in November but the superstar has been riding out for father Ted Walsh and Irish retainer Willie Mullins.
Walsh will work at Paul Nicholls’ yard early next week and Mullins explained: "I've spoken to him about Sunday and I imagine he's going to be there. I'm going to have a few jumping there on Sunday and not many galloping as I have had over the years.
"He rode work for me yesterday and will do so tomorrow as well and he'll probably school over fences for me on Sunday.
"I told him I was going to take a few horses to Leopardstown and he said he would do whatever I wanted him to."
Talking about plans on Sunday, Leopardstown general manager Tom Burke explained: "They tend just to come along on the day itself. There's no actual specific requirements of booking in beforehand. I expect all the leading yards to have a few here."
