Verdict

SALVATOR MUNDI brings considerable potential to the novice chasing ranks after showing himself to be a smart hurdler last term and he is taken to make a winning start in this sphere. Clonmel runner-up Donnie Devito appeals as the one to chase him home, atlhough the selection's stablemates Kappa Jy Pyke and Sainte Tartare could also play a part on their respective chasing debuts.
