Barry Connell has a well-earned reputation for talking up the horses he owns and trains and, while he insists he won’t be so publicly bullish in future, he will continue to make an exception in the case of dual Cheltenham Festival hero Marine Nationale.
The Champion Chaser will return to Cheltenham to defend his crown next month where Majborough, 19 lengths his superior at the Dublin Racing Festival at Leopardstown last week, will again lie in wait.
