Race Tip

The unbeaten KOPEK DES BORDES (4) is already a champion now seeking a top-level hat-trick following victories in the 2m G1 Leopardstown Ireland Novice Hurdle and by 1.75L in the 2m G1 Supreme Novices Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival (UK). Consider. SALVATOR MUNDI (5) was fifth behind the top pick at Cheltenham. Enhanced that form when successful by 7L attempting the 2m G1 Top Novices Hurdle at Aintree (UK). Main danger. IRANCY (2) was a 1.5L winner among G2 company at Fairyhouse three weeks ago. Holds claims. KARBAU (3) finished 8L third behind the second mentioned at Aintree and is of interest.
