Fisher gets Wexford compo

Fisher Bridge gained compensation for his near miss in the Munster National at Limerick by landing the Casey Enterprise Steeplechase at Wexford under Davy Condon.

Noel Meade 's son of Singspiel toughed it out really well from the last to get the better of the Paul Carberry-ridden Lucky At Last by a neck. The pair left Lucky Wish seventeen lengths further back in third.

Meade said: "If it was run again (the Munster National) he might win but it just didn't work out for him on the day - Davy probably should have kicked on but he gave him a great ride there so I wouldn't be blaming him.

"Anyway today he said that he struggled a bit on the ground and he will be wrapped-up for the winter. He wants better ground. He is in at Ascot next week but I'd say that would be unlikely."

Fisher Bridge is owned by the P.R. Syndicate from County Tyrone. Peter Dolan and Robert Watson make up that grouping with the latter being a son of Archie Watson who was associated with all those good horses such as French Tan in the past.
