Taking on the mighty Constitution Hill could now come onto the agenda later in the season for Rubaud who made his return to action a triumphant one when securing a front-running success in the Trustatrader Approved And Reviewed Trades People Hurdle at Kempton Park today.
The improving six-year-old made a winning return to the scene of his Grade Two victory in Sky Bet Dovecote Novices’ Hurdle on his penultimate start last season when successfully giving weight away all round in the Listed feature.
Having signed off last season with a second Grade Two success in the Coral Scottish Champion Hurdle at Ayr in April the Chris Giles and Brendan McManus-owned five-year-old was sent off the 2-1 second favourite to make a successful return.
Meeting the last on a good stride Rubaud pulled out plenty up the run in to hold Too Friendly at bay by two and a three-quarter lengths and set up a return to Grade Two company in the West Country Weekend Elite Hurdle at Wincanton on November 11th.
