Flemenstar in ‘good form’ as big season awaits

Peter Casey stresses that the Irish Form Book Fortria Chase at Navan tomorrow is a starting point for his flagship horse Flemenstar.

The County Meath trainer is hoping the seven-year-old is fit enough to do himself justice in the Grade Two contest in which he will meet Big Zeb, winner of this race for the last three years.

Casey is happy to give Flemenstar his seasonal debut on the same card as 12 months ago when he was runner-up to Bog Warrior, with this year’s prolific winner Baily Green back in third.
