Formscan By Gary Carson - Willie Mullins saddles four of the six runners and KOPEK DES BORDES is very hard to oppose. The No Risk At All gelding comes here with an unbeaten record and has already struck at the top level twice this season. He survived a mistake at the last to beat a good bunch in convincing fashion in the Supreme Novices’ last month and can complete his Grade 1 hat-trick now. Stablemate Salvator Mundi was behind him in fifth at Cheltenham but improved to win impressively at Aintree. He’s the obvious danger now. Fairyhouse Grade 2 winner Irancy can complete a clean sweep of the places for the yard.
