Ruby sparkles on Nycteos

Ruby Walsh needed to put his skills to use for less than six minutes at Kempton but his visit was more than worthwhile as his sole ride Nycteos captured the intercasino.co.uk Lanzarote Hurdle.

Punters had noticed Walsh’s decision to compete at the Sunbury track rather than at Warwick and the chestnut was returned the 7-4 favourite after a gritty victory.
