Ruby set for Denman ride

PAUL BARBER has confirmed Ruby Walsh will be riding Denman in the Lexus Chase at Leopardstown later this month.

Sam Thomas and TonyMcCoy have ridden the 11-year-old in the majority of his recent races but Walsh was on board when hedisappointed at Aintree in April.

With Walsh likely to ride Kauto Star if the pair both line up in the Gold Cup in March, owner Barber is sure the situation will sort itself out nearer the time.
