FormscanBy Michael Graham - SALDIER has the same profile as last year's winner Aramon - a seven-year-old trained by Willie Mullins, ridden by Patrick Mullins with 11st 10lb on his back. This double Grade One winner over hurdles enjoyed an easy win in a qualified riders' race at Listowel last month on his way to fifth in a staying contest at Royal Ascot (on fast ground which wouldn't have been ideal). He certainly has a shot. Belfast Banter has plenty going for him. He comes here with a huge reputation now after landing the Grade 3 County Hurdle at Cheltenham and a Grade One at Aintree. His Ballybrit record is also more than decent with a runner-up finish and a victory accrued over hurdles. He can draw upon that County Hurdle experience when navigating his way through this massive field. Ciel De Neige has a bit to find with Belfast Banter on their run in the County Hurdle, but he is proven over further and ran well when being beaten by half a length in a Grade B handicap hurdle at Punchestown. He should be coming home stronger than most in the first-time blinkers. Cape Gentleman came from a long way back for fifth in the Ascot Stakes over two and a half miles on the flat. There is plenty of upside to him as he is a lightly-raced sort who has managed to win the Irish Cesarewitch and a Grade 2 over hurdles. Winner Takes Itall lifts a €25k bonus if adding this to his recent Bellewstown success. He has a feather weight on his back and the bookmakers are wary of him. Rain wouldn't be to his advantage, though.
