The horse was in great order and he improved from Killarney as Paul (Townend) thought he would. He did it real well. He jumped super and he travelled well. It's great to be back - pressure off! It’s a relief. I’ve only had a week’s work in the last nine months and it’s great to be back. I hope I last a bit longer than a week this time!. The leg has felt great for a long time - I had no worries about that, it was everything else I had to worry about. It has been a long enough old road. I’ve been ready for a fortnight or three weeks and this was always the target. It’s great to have Ruby back. He jumped from hurdle to hurdle and climbed the hill. You are always wondering when you come to Galway whether you have a horse that will climb and he climbed. It’s a nice start to the week. W P Mullins, trainer
