Patrick Mullins is looking forward to seeing Salvator Mundi back in action in Sunday's Sky Bet Moscow Flyer Novices' Hurdle but has a worry over the ground for the five-year-old.
Second in his sole start in France, the son of No Risk At All has raced twice for the Closutton team, finishing sixth in last year's JCB Triumph Hurdle before outclassing his rivals in a Tipperary maiden hurdle in May.
He finds himself as favourite for the Sky Bet Supreme at Cheltenham ahead of his reappearance and the assistant trainer told Sporting Life: “He’s a horse we’ve always thought an awful lot of, his work has always been very good. His first run was obviously behind Sir Gino where he headed him before the last and then didn’t quite last it home.
