10/1
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.

About The Selections
Johnny Ward
Salvator Mundi I'm against Kopek Des Bordes at the prices, given he failed to fire at the Punchestown Festival last year, and Salvator Mundi could be very difficult to catch, if he gets an easy lead.
