Tim Vaughan runs winning chaser Piment D'Estruval after a lay-off but his best hope of success is undoubtedly with GRAND LAHOU. Michael Byrne claims 3lb and that may be enough for the nine-year-old to recapture the winning thread after he found Bhaltair too strong over fences at Aintree last month. Traditional Bob won't be far away again but Unex Degas has become a little disappointing and Warwickshire, placed twice in bumpers in Ireland, may need this.
