VANILLIER ran to a decent level when second to the promising Crosshill at Punchestown last month and is the percentage call with improvement on the cards, although strong support for the Willie Mullins-trained Stattler, who won the first of his 3 bumper starts last term, would put a slightly different slant on things. Fantasio d'Alene is another who is likely to have a say in proceedings.
