Winters mulls rebel options

The Hilly Way Chase at Cork and the John Durkan Memorial Punchestown Chase are under consideration for Mick Winters’ stable star Rebel Fitz.

The nine-year-old tasted success at the highest level in the Powers Gold Cup at Fairyhouse in the spring and has returned in fine form this autumn, winning on the Flat at Listowel before he was triumphant in the Istabraq Hurdle at Tipperary.
