Vanillier will be hot based on his third at Cheltenham in a Cross Country. He'd lost a dozen lengths trying to go the wrong way, so it's impressive form. Out of his depth in the National since. The Goffer was just behind Vanillier in the Cheltenham race, and the experience will have told the connections plenty. Has been rested since and can reverse the Vanillier positions.

7 furlongs on artificial surfaces has been a turning point for Reginald Charles, and the hat trick looks on following wins here and Newcastle. Should be able to defy 6-pound rise at this level after those wins.

Teahupoo's owners have plenty of good form lines to scrutinize as they own the horse that took his staying crown at the line at the festival (Bob Ollinger) as well as Hiddenvalley Lake, who missed the festival but went to Aintree and won their staying equivalent. All are in Henry DeBromhead's yard, so it's hard to oppose the outfit here, and he might have a 1-2. Teahupoo is the experienced and class act and only lightly raced in '25.
