Salvator Mundi (8/15), Kel Histoire (7/2), Sky Lord (15/2), Relieved Of Duties (9/1), Artic Lane (40/1), Mr Rango (200/1)

SALVATOR MUNDI completed a simple task in a maiden at Tipperary 9 weeks after finishing in mid-division in the Triumph and looks the one to beat back up in grade on his return. His stablemate Kel Histoire is next best ahead of Relieved of Duties.
