Vanillier (G)
[BT]
Smart performer on his day and performed with credit when third in the Cross Country Chase at the Cheltenham Festival in March. Should come on for his reappearance run at Punchestown and this mark isn't a bad one, but there's an air of vul…

Egbert (G)
[P]
Dual chase winner during 2023/24 campaign and added the Tommy Whittle to his CV here last winter. Failed to complete both subsequent starts and sometimes races lazily, but he's certainly capable of a bold show off this mark if raring to go…

Whistle Stop Tour (G)
[P]
Progressed when winning back-to-back handicap chases at Kelso and Ayr (both at around 3m on deep ground) last season. More miss than hit since, but he's now 3 lb below the mark of his latest success and will be a danger to all if he puts h…

Regal Blue (G)
Would be entitled to have a major say off this mark if able to reproduce his form from a couple of seasons back, but he has been pulled up on 4 of his last half-a-dozen starts (including both appearances last term) and resumes from a year …

Wa Wa (G)
[PT]
Four-time winner in Ireland and off the mark for this yard in a Perth handicap hurdle (26.6f, soft) during the spring. Creditable efforts returned to this sphere the last twice and, with this marathon trip likely to be right up his street …

Jupiter Des Bordes (G)

[T]
Largely consistent over fences for current yard and deservedly opened his account in this sphere with a gritty display at Warwick (3m, soft), the front 2 pulling a mile clear of the rest. More on his plate here from 4 lb out of the handica…
