Punchestown

Tomorrow, May 1, 2025Chase4m1f

THE GOFFER rates the pick at these weights and can build on earlier promise to end a losing sequence now returned to a more suitable trip. Vanillier wasn't at his best in the Grand National last time but could still emerge as the main danger ahead of Stealthy Tom and Three By Two.
