FormscanBy John O'Riordan - MARINE NATIONALE who looked a very smart horse on his debut at Punchestown can confirm that potential here. The Barry Connell trained son of French Navy travelled easily throughout that race before quickening up to win easily. Galway is likely to have been the plan since he crossed the winning line at the County Kildare track. No Risk No Fun also made an impressive winning debut and coming from the Willie Mullins stable he has to be respected. Although the bare form of his Wexford win is nothing special, the manner of his success stamped him down as one to follow. Mon Coeur took time to get his head in front but was good at Killarney last time. Pat Taaffe is riding really well at the moment so his booking is notable. On The Sixth Day also deserves consideration after a solid display at Sligo.
