Alain Cawley has been given the all-clear to return to action on Sunday after breaking his left collarbone in a fall at Fairyhouse last month.

The jockey sustained the injury when his mount Dapper Dan was brought down at the second flight in a maiden hurdle on February 20.

He said: "I'm hoping to be back riding on Sunday. I saw a specialist this morning and he told me I could return to action. I'll be riding out starting tomorrow morning."

Cawley aims to be 100% race-fit again in time for the Cheltenham Festival, where his rides include Shinrock Paddy in the Albert Bartlett Novices' Hurdle, Noble Prince (County Hurdle) and Chicago Grey (Coral Cup).

"All being well I'll be at Cheltenham next week. If it all goes to plan I'll be there," he added.
