Rebel Fitz in good nick following comeback run

Mick Winters reports Rebel Fitz to be A1 following his triumphant return from injury at Listowel on Saturday.

While the County Cork trainer will continue to keep an eye on his popular nine-year-old over the next few days, the early indications are the gelding has suffered no recurrence of the injury that forced Winters to scrap plans to run him at the Galway Festival.

“We don’t seem to have symptoms whatsoever. We like just to wait a day or two before making a statement but he’s been out this morning. He’s cool, no heat or anything at this stage, so all is very good,” said Winters.
