Felix Yonger holds off Flemenstar in thriller
Sent off the even-money favourite, the Willie Mullins-trained winner was content to race in behind what looked a generous pace set by stablemate Twinlight, who had Flemenstar and Days Hotel in close attendance through the early stages.
Flemenstar, who returned to winning ways when taking full advantage of Un De Sceaux’s Leopardstown fall at Christmas, jumped with his trademark panache when taking over at the head of affairs, and rider Andrew Lynch kicked for home off the final bend.
