Vic looks poised to collect in Beginners Chase

RUBY WALSH makes a swift return from an elbow injury at Galway this afternoon and is fancied to team up successfully with Southern Vic, trained by his father, Ted, in the W B Galvin and Co EBF Beginners Chase.

This was always going to be the former winning point-to-pointer's game and he is certain to have been extensively schooled.

Southern Vic scored twice over flights at Leopardstown last season, impressing with his attitude and rounding off the campaign with a creditable close fifth behind Black Apalachi in a Grade Two at Naas in February.
