After Onemoredance won the Garnet Stakes at 33/1, there was another upset in the second Listed contest on the Naas card when Fleur De Chine (22/1) came from off the pace to land the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Bluebell Stakes.

They went hard in this 1m4f event and Colin Keane was happy to sit towards the rear on the blinkered daughter of Study Of Man. Once turning for home, the winner gradually picked off tiring rivals and led inside the final furlong to win by a length and a half from Beset

Jessica Harrington, also amongst the winners at Cork's jumps meeting, trains the four-year-old for her breeder Kirsten Rausing and said: “She just hasn’t had the ground all summer. When we stepped her up in trip she ran well in Gowran the last day staying on. 

“Colin gave her a very cool ride. 

“She may run again in the mile and a half Finale Stakes at the Curragh, and Bonnie Moon will probably run in the two-mile Loughbrown.”
