Formscan By Gary Carson - KOPEK DES BORDES looked like an unlucky loser at Cheltenham last month and should prove hard to beat now. The No Risk At All gelding swooped through to lead going to the last in the Arkle but pecked at the final fence and couldn’t pick up again as stablemate Kargese rallied to land the spoils. That was only his second chase start and he’s entitled to improve. Irish Panther ran a fine race in the Champion Chase and may have been closer but for a bad mistake at the last. He’s the danger. Salvator Mundi didn’t jump with any great fluency in Aintree but is talented and another to consider.
