Forecasts

Salvator Mundi (1/12), Park That (11/4), Love Me (8/1), Mrs Tk (17/2), Orlando Spirit (18/1), Lucky Junior (20/1), Heroes Rise (20/1), Burren Breeze (25/1), Uhavemeinstitches (25/1), Westernized (33/1), Rorkes Drift (50/1), Ilbdare (50/1), Herbies Rover (66/1), Shashado (66/1), The Blaggard (66/1), Minority Interest (66/1), I Dont Lie (100/1), Dylan's Chance (100/1)

It's impossible to ignore the claims of SALVATOR MUNDI, who shaped promisingly when sixth in the Triumph at the Cheltenham Festival on only his second start (and first for Willie Mullins) and sets the bar very high with his sights lowered considerably. Park That produced a promising first effort when third at Cork at the end of March and can edge out Love Me for the forecast spot.
