FormscanBy Mark Nunan - No doubt Tony Bloom had to shell out a fair amount of Euros to acquire ILE ATLANTIQUE after the Coastal Path gelding showed plenty of promise when finishing third in a hurdle race at Auteuil in April. The four-year-old can make the first return on that investment by making a winning start in Ireland. Willie Mullins also runs Castlebawn North, a half-brother to Castlebawn West who won the Paddy Power Chase on this card two years ago, but it's seldom enough that Patrick Mullins picks the wrong one when he has a choice to make. No Time To Wait, an expensive three-year-old, fell in both point-to-points but was in second when coming down two out on the second occasion at Monksgrange. His dam won a bumper for Michael McElhone and went on to do well over jumps for Dan Skelton. Feronily, sold for a comparatively modest 45,000 pounds after winning a Rathcannon point-to-point by ten lengths last month for Ellemarie Holden, is another to consider.%0A
