FormscanBy Mark Nunan - BON RETOUR was placed a couple of times at Auteuil for Francois Cottin before joining Willie Mullins. The daughter of Fame And Glory made an immediate impact for her new connections when beating the in-form Pilbara over a furlong further at the Galway Festival and this looks a good opportunity for her to gain a second win. Her new mark leaves her with a bit in hand of Telmesomethinggirl, who followed an easy win in maiden company at Roscommon with a creditable third to The Very Man in a useful novice hurdle. Ellie Mac came back from a break with a good run in a course and distance handicap last month, but ran poorly last time and is also badly treated at the weights with the selection.
