Ruby gets off the mark at Galway

Capall proves brave in tight finish

Barry Geraghty probably woke him up last time at Kilbeggan. He stays and stays forever. Paul was probably as tired as him at the finish!. After his last run we put him over fences and he jumps well so that will be his long-term target. He's entered on Sunday and originally I wanted to keep him for that but all the syndicate were coming today so I ran him. He could still run again on Sunday.
