Race Tip

Willie Mullins' SALVATOR MUNDI (7) resumes after two months and avoided Cheltenham in favour of this. Began the previous campaign with a solid Thurles second over 2m2 1/2f and looks well placed to make a winning return. KALA CONTI (8) also comes back from a short break and boasts a strong when resuming profile. Opened the last campaign with a Cork chase victory tackling 2m5f and commands respect. MIGHTY BANDIT (4) arrives in outstanding form after completing a hat trick with another Doncaster success contesting 2m1/2f. Hard to rule out. NO QUESTIONS ASKED (6) impressed in G2 company at Windsor two starts ago before failing to feature at Cheltenham. Better than that and capable of bouncing back.
