Time called on Flemenstar season

Flemenstar will not run again this season because of a tendon injury but connections expect him to return to action next term.

The brilliant chaser, who joined the Tony Martin stable in the autumn having previously been with Peter Casey, made a winning reappearance in the Fortria Chase at Navan in early November.

However, he was a late withdrawal from the John Durkan Memorial Punchestown Chase after suffering a knock to a leg and is still receiving treatment for the problem.
