Salvator Mundi^h,t²¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: Paul Townend| T: W P Mullins

1/7

A smart 2m-winning hurdler who came in a solid second in Champion Novices' Hurdle at Punchestown (16.7f, good to soft) in April. Starts out over fences now and rates a most interesting prospect.

Form: 6/11512-

Beauforts Storm²¹⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: Cian Quirke| T: T Doyle| C

100/1

Fairly useful hurdler. 100/1, pulled up in listed hurdle at Punchestown (16.4f) 7 months ago. No forlorn hope now going chasing.

Sainte Tartare^h,t²²⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-5| J: Sean O'Keeffe| T: W P Mullins

10/1

Fairly useful winner at 16f over hurdles. Creditable third of 10 in listed hurdle (6/1) at Cheltenham (20.2f, good) in April. Not discounted resuming over fences here.

Form: 2313-

Stormalong²¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-5| J: Darragh O'Keeffe| T: D Budds| OR: 123

25/1

Fairly useful winner at 20f over hurdles. Yet to match that form in two runs in this sphere, fourth of 6 in listed chase (16/1) at Clonmel (20.8f, soft) 21 days ago. Could still do better.

Form: 3-10744

Forecasts

Salvator Mundi (1/7), Kappa Jy Pyke (6/1), Sainte Tartare (10/1), Donnie Devito (12/1), Stormalong (25/1), Pralognan (80/1), Beauforts Storm (100/1), Road To The Weir (250/1)

SALVATOR MUNDI brings considerable potential to the novice chasing ranks after showing himself to be a smart hurdler last term and he is taken to make a winning start in this sphere. Clonmel runner-up Donnie Devito appeals as the one to chase him home, atlhough the selection's stablemates Kappa Jy Pyke and Sainte Tartare could also play a part on their respective chasing debuts.
