Gentleman De Mee has won the Dublin Chase this afternoon at Leopardstown, upstaging rival Blue Lord in the process.
The seven-year-old, owned by JP McManus was a 15/2 outsider in the Grade 1 for Willie and Danny Mullins. Danny substituted for Mark Walsh who was injured in a fall earlier in the day.
Blue Lord was the 1-4 favourite for the race and had dominated the previous meeting between the pair winning by 41 lengths in the Paddy's Rewards Club Chase just after Christmas. However it was the complete opposite this time around as Gentleman De Mee stormed home by seven lengths.
