Davy Russell is expected to be back in action at Punchestown tomorrow after making a swift recovery from a fall at Navan.

Russell was unseated from Coast To Coast in a novice chase yesterday.  He complained of a sore elbow and wrist and was taken to Navan hospital for x-rays.

"He's good.  He had a full range of X-rays last night, and nothing showed up," said his agent Andrew Kelly.

"He left hospital straight away and the only thing that he has is a touch of a sore elbow. It looked like he had broken something after the fall, but I am booking him rides for Punchestown tomorrow."
