Ruby Walsh will partner last season's Smurfit Champion Hurdle winner Hors La Loi III in the Victor Chandler Bula Hurdle on Saturday after Tony Dobbin ruled himself out of the running for the ride.
Trainer James Fanshawe's stable also announced today that Walsh would be aboard Eternal Spring in the Concord Jubilee Filing Products Relkeel Hurdle on the same card.
Dobbin will be heading for Doncaster or Haydock Park to ride Full Irish for Lenny Lungo who has first claim on the jockey's services.
