Grand Vendetta
Selected at:
10/11
Grand Vendetta fetched €140,000 at the sales back in 2023 and there was plenty to like about his second on debut at Chepstow in December, despite showing his inexperience late. Paul Nicholls’ gelding went one better at Taunton next time and the form has been boosted since, suggesting that a penalty shouldn’t stop him here.
