MARINE NATIONALE oozes class at Punchestown

Описание: Marine Nationale backed up his Cheltenham win with an impressive victory in the William Hill Champion Chase at Punchestown.

Fresh from a wide-margin success in the Queen Mother Champion Chase at last month’s Festival, Barry Connell’s stable star was the 2-1 second-favourite to come out on top in a fascinating clash with the brilliant Ryanair Chase winner Fact To File (11-10).

While the latter looked to be struggling to keep up with the strong pace being set by Solness from an early stage back over an extended two miles, Marine Nationale travelled strongly throughout under Sean Flanagan, although the race did look in the balance until El Fabiolo suffered his third fall in his last four starts two fences from home.

Marine Nationale was in full command from that point and quickened up smartly from the final obstacle to pull seven lengths clear of Captain Guinness, with Solness third and Fact To File a bitterly disappointing last of four finishers.
