Verdict
Ruby Walsh was on board when THE FITZ LADY fell in the race won by today's rival Mileys Dream at Listowel and also when successful at Ballinrobe a year ago. The pair get a chance to gain compensation though there are plenty of dangers including Fiddlers Bow, a winner at Cork in August and a close second over fences at Tramore earlier this month. Father Jed went up 9lb after completing a double at Ballinrobe and didn't run quite as well on faster going at Tramore though further rain would do his chances no harm. Courtin Bb is still a maiden but on a lowly mark and has been narrowly beaten in similar contests in two of her last three starts.
