Tough gig this month, what with a fair few prices contracting from the Christmas periods racing, and the racing in January where prices could disappear before month end, when the yankee is put up.
The one problem with Salvator Mundi is he is probably one for the Moscow Flyer in the middle of January. He needed to be in one before now. Unless the yankee goes up before the MF just to get Salvator in?
The Jukebox Man, Better Days Ahead & Croke Park have all just contested decent enough trials for the BANC. I'd be looking at one of them. Personal preference is for Better Days Ahead (16/1), with course winning form and a performance against Croke Park that suggested 'the hill' will suit him, not to mention Gordon's words after the race. He won't run again until the DRF I imagine.
With the uncertainty of what is going to happen with Lossiemouth & Brighterdaysahead I'd say July Flower could be worth a shot too. 12's generally but up to 20's still on show. Again, she's not going to run in January either, as she could well go straight there and Henry has a good recent record in the race.
I like all three of the banc horses, only got croke park backed as a single and the jukebox man on a couple of my own lucky 15's.
Jukebox Man not a bad shout as they have spoken about going straight there.
His price might gently shorten, depending on what emerges in the Irish ranks.
The Pipe bumper horse (Wind Beneath) is also going straight there and with nothing other than Kalypso coming out of Ireland and a couple of mares, then his price may hold or shorten also.
Especially if Dublin bumpers confuse things even further or Kalypso emerges as still the best of the Irish.
You could probably say the same about the UK triumph fav (East India Dock) also as the Irish juveniles all look average so far. And if he runs again on trials day it's hard not to see him shortening if victorious. Again, one will emerge from the Dublin race but would have to come from nowhere or improve loads and look clear of the rest in doing so.
It's fair to say that the Irish look unusually light in the bumper and juvenile ranks so far.

I loved the way the jukebox man jumped the other day.
