Rubi Lightback over ideal trip

RUBI LIGHT, running over his ideal two and a half mile trip, has to be the choice in the Grade 2 Red Mills Chase at Gowran Park this afternoon.

He seemed to find three miles all too far when beaten eight and a half lengths into second by Synchronised in the Lexus at Leopardstown at Christmas, but still emerged with great credit.

Prior to that the selection was impressive in the Durkan Chase at Punchestown — two and a half miles — when beating Joncol by five lengths.
