Light shines in Durkan win
Ridden by Andre Lynch (riding his third Grade 1 winner in nine days), the exciting six-year-old jumped with his customary exuberance, when allowed bowl along in front, and had his rivals in big trouble soon after the fourth last fence, before Joncol (Paul Carberry) came through to chase him home, five lengths separating them at the line.
Unlucky on his seasonal bow in Gowran (he had Sizing Europe beaten when crashing at the last), Rubi Light oozed class as he gave owner Bill Hennessy, father of the winning trainer, his first Grade 1 win since Sublimity.
