Forecasts

Kopek Des Bordes (4/11), Salvator Mundi (13/2), Irish Panther (15/2), Pure Steel (12/1), Jacob's Ladder (18/1)

Verdict

KOPEK DES BORDES might have won the Arkle at Cheltenham on just his second start over fences had he jumped the last better and has an excellent chance of making amends. Irish Panther will be much more at home here having struggled against seasoned rivals in the Queen Mother Champion Chase at the Festival.
