Verdict

GALOPIN DES CHAMPS has stamina to prove now stepping up to 3m, but it was hard not be impressed with the way he jumped and travelled in the Martin Pipe so is well worth keeping onside. Spa-winner Vanillier looks open to further improvement now he’s found his right conditions, while Telmesomethinggirl is also highly respected with her Dawn Run win working out well.
