Be on board with Atlantique flow

TIME RIGHT FOR MULLINS’ SECOND STRING

- 

TAKE ILE ATLANTIQUE (3.02) to put his Willie Mullins stablemate in his pocket and land the feature Barberstown Chase this afternoon as Naas.

Just five runners go to post for this Grade Three event and | think we have yet to see the best over the larger obstacles from this seven-year-old following a bright start to his chasing career last year when he landed his first two starts. He was very impressive when producing on his second start with a five-length demolition of the useful Firefox over the course and distance.

For some unknown reason, he then ran miles below that level when raised in grade for the Goffs Irish Arkle Novice Chase behind Majborough and subsequently got rid of his rider twice in Grade One events at Fairyhouse and Punchestown.
