FormscanBy Gary Carson - Young Sam Coen has plenty of experience from pony racing and his 7lb claim looks a valuable asset for FRENCH COMPANY. The French Navy gelding has been in fine form, winning on his penultimate outing at Sligo and following that up with a solid run to finish third in a competitive Curragh contest. Explorers Way is another who has been running well and looks an obvious contender with leading apprentice Keithen Kennedy taking the mount. Tartaraghan has been knocking on the door and could be place material.
