The grey’s Punchestown triumph – his first since 2021 – also saw his Grand National odds come in to 33/1 from 50/1.

Cal Gildart of Ladbrokes said: “Vanillier’s impressive victory as favourite for the Ladbrokes Cross Country Chase has raised expectations for Cheltenham. And given he’s previously finished as runner-up in the National, we know he’s got a big run in him."
