Back-to-form Felix can upstage Flemenstar

Felix Yonger might upstage triple Grade 1 winner Flemenstar on his return to action in today’s Grade 2 Webster Cup in Navan.

Off the track since winning the Fortria Chase on this track in November 2013, his first run for Tony Martin, Flemenstar will be racing over his optimum trip, two and a half miles, but is likely to struggle against Willie Mullins’ race-fit charge, a winner over hurdles at Leopardstown last month.

An exciting novice, Flemenstar progressed to win the John Durkan in 2012 and performed with credit in top Grade 1 company. But injury has kept him off the track for almost seventeen months and he might be vulnerable.
