RUBY WALSH still does not know when he will be back riding following his broken leg.
Walsh – racing ambassador for Paddy Power – has been on the sidelines since November when falling from Let’s Dance and is due to see the surgeon next week.
However, his comeback could be as late as just a few days for the Cheltenham Festival.
Walsh said: “I can’t wait to get back riding. I dreamt about being back for this weekend. But then reality would kick in.

“I’m thinking the weekend of the 24th February or the 2nd March. One or the other I suppose. If it has to be be the 10th then so be it.
“Getting to Cheltenham has been the goal since I got out the back of the ambulance on the 18th of November.”
