Rebel has a cause at Listowel

Mick Winters hopes Grade One-winning chaser Rebel Fitz has retained all of his old verve when he returns to action at Listowel today.

The popular nine-year-old suffered a setback after recording a first top-level success in the Powers Gold Cup at Fairyhouse in April – an injury which put paid to a possible tilt at the Galway Plate.

The Kanturk trainer has taken his time with the French-bred gelding, but feels he is now ready to start moving through the gears.
