JEREMYS FLAME SHOCKS FAVOURITE

JEREMYS Flame caused an upset in the Barberstown Castle Poplar Square Chase which saw both Coeur Sublime and Gentleman De Mee depart at the final fence at Naas yesterday.

The Grade Three race was supposed to be a stepping stone to the Tingle Creek for Willie Mullins’ 4-7 favourite Gentleman De Mee.

With 12lb in hand on official ratings it might have been expected to be something of a victory parade, but Couer Sublime met the final fence all wrong, and Gentleman De Mee failed to avoid him. Jeremys Flame’s trainer Gavin Cromwell said: ‘I definitely wouldn’t rule out going to Cheltenham with her.’
