Jockey Jack Kennedy will make his return to horse racing at Leopardstown after recovering from a damaged leg.
The Irishman, 25, suffered the harm for the sixth time in his profession in a rookies’ chase at Fairyhouse in November.
Kennedy was injured and his horse Twoohthree died after a heavy fall on the ultimate fence of the race.
An announcement from coach Gordon Elliott mentioned that Kennedy had been “given the inexperienced mild” to return to racing after being handed match by his surgeon Paddy Kenny.
Kennedy will race at Leopardstown on Monday on the Nationwide Hunt Finale.
His return is a lift for Elliott earlier than the Cheltenham Competition from 11-14 March.
Kennedy has gained 11 races on the Competition, together with a Gold Cup win on Minella Indo in 2021.
