Form & Verdict
Back to his best with Grade 1 novice success at Leopardstown at Christmas; chased home Ahoy Senor when runner-up at Aintree in April; below form at the end of the season at Punchestown but can be forgiven that run and open to further progress; has a solid record fresh.

Form & Verdict
Won four-runner Grade 2 at Punchestown last term but only two finished; couldn't match that form over fences subsequently and he has a penalty to carry on return from 191 days off; has something to find.

Vanillier

J: Sean Flanagan

T: Gavin Cromwell

Thorough stayer who came second in the 2023 Grand National; not very consistent nowadays but did very well to finish third behind Stumptown in this race last year (good to soft), having lost ground when nearly taking the wrong course in early stages, and returns here after a win on Bank course at Punchestown (3m1f, soft to heavy) last month.

7 yo Gelding

OR: 144

Form & Verdict
Good round of jumping when winning a beginners' at Tramore in April but failed to get the landing gear out when coming down at the opening flight at Punchestown when last seen; lightly raced and there should be more to come this term; can give a good account getting weight from his main rival; yard adept at readying them for reappearance.
