Formscan By Gary Carson - Last year’s Arkle Sale topper LEADER DES BORDES is a fascinating runner here for Willie Mullins and owners Gigginstown. He made 210,000 euro as a store and the fact that Patrick Mullins takes the mount would suggest he’s the pick of the yard’s quartet. Santo Sospir is already a bumper winner, having got up late on to score at Punchestown in February. He looked like he would improve from that run and is entitled to be a big player. There are also three point-to-point winners in the field and Barry O’Neill’s booking for Green Style catches the eye. The Idaho gelding is one of a trio for leading owners Simon Munir and Isaac Souede.
