VERDICT: 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 win the Supreme at Cheltenham last month and can complete his Grade 1 hat-trick. Stablemate Salvator Mundi was behind him in fifth at Cheltenham but improved to win impressively at Aintree. He's the obvious danger, ahead of Fairyhouse Grade 2 winner Irancy.
