4.50 Punchestown: Indiana Jones

Finished: 5thSP: 40/1

This ten-year-old loves Punchestown - he's produced some of his career-best efforts at the track - and drops back to the only trip he has won over.

He's also down markedly in the weights after beating 22 horses at Aintree over further, when fifth in the Randox Topham Handicap Chase off a 4lb higher mark.

There's plenty to like about his chances at 33-1.

5.25 Punchestown: Salvator Mundi

Finished: 1stSP: 13/2

I don't like Kopek Des Bordes at the prices, given he failed to fire at the Punchestown Festival last year, and is so short at the 2-5 on offer.

If Salvator Mundi can get a free lead, he will be very difficult to catch under Harry Cobden, and is a general 12-1 chance.
