Peter Casey’s stable star, ridden by regular partner Andrew Lynch, jumped past front-running Rathlin three fences from home and strode clear to register his fifth and most significant success over fences, to the delight of his band of enthusiastic supporters in a crowd of 7,682 (down from 7,853 last year).

Flemenstar is now as low as 8/1 (from 20), with Ladbrokes, for next year’s Cheltenham Gold Cup, while Boylesports offer 12/1 (from 16).
