PREVIEW
This preview is for members only...
VITAL ISLAND lost his form through the second half of last season, but a return to the pointing fields, and this venue in particular where he has excelled, winning three consecutive renewals of this particular contest from 2019 to 2021, should be rewarded. Knockiel Synge and Fountain House finished first and second in the Ladies Cup and are likely the biggest dangers, whilst Tech Talk and Subset are others to have run well over the banks at Punchestown.
