Ruby Walsh will return to the saddle at Ayr on Friday after he suffered a heavy fall in the Aintree Hurdle.
Walsh had hoped to be back in action for Cheltenham's two-day fixture on Wednesday and Thursday but will wait for the Scottish Grand National meeting instead.
With the Punchestown Festival also on the horizon Walsh felt it prudent not to rush his return.
"I'm still a little stiff and I think two more days' rest is the sensible thing," Walsh told www.racinguk.com.
"While it's a good meeting at Cheltenham, the priority is being 100% fit for Ayr this weekend, and then Punchestown next week."
