Speculation over when Joseph O'Brien would return to ride on the Flat has ended after the jockey was declared for two mounts at Cork on Saturday.

O'Brien created a relative media frenzy last weekend by riding over hurdles at Limerick, instead of being in action on the first day of the new season at the Curragh.
