Formscan  - With the notable omission of ante-post favourite Sir Gino, it might pay to side with SALVATOR MUNDI, who finished second to the former at Auteuil last April. He hasn't been seen since, but the fact Willie Mullins sends him straight here would suggest a bold bid is expected. His stablemates Kargese (winner), Storm Heart (second), Majborough (third) and Bunting (fourth) all met in the Spring Juvenile Hurdle at Leopardstown, so it will be interesting to see how that quartet stacks up now sent over slightly further on a stiffer track. Nurburgring needs to pull out a bit more having hit the frame in a Grade 2 latest, but it would come as no surprise were he to find the required improvement. Salver, who made it four out of four over hurdles when landing the odds at Haydock, is no forlorn hope with conditions in his favour.
