Lucinda Russell’s back-to-back Ultima hero Corach Rambler set the blueprint, landing the 2022 renewal as a novice off 140 before repeating the feat a year later en route to Grand National glory. Fast forward to 2025, and Whistle Stop Tour finds himself on a similar trajectory, officially rated 137 after just four chase starts and with multiple options at the Festival—eligible for this, the National Hunt Novices’ Chase, and the Kim Muir.

The decision to run over an inadequate 2m4½f at the Cheltenham Trials meeting last month looked more reconnaissance mission than serious assignment. While he couldn’t lay a glove on the stylish Jagwar up the hill, the seven-year-old was far from disgraced in fifth, his jumping passing the test with credit. A former pointer, he was snapped up at the 2023 Cheltenham April Sale and made his presence felt over hurdles last winter, but fences were always destined to be his game.
Victorious in two of his four chase starts, Whistle Stop Tour showcased his stamina when scoring in novice handicap chases at Kelso and Ayr (2m7f & 3m) off 124 and 130. With connections viewing him as a future Grand National type, a tilt at the Midlands or Scottish version this spring isn’t out of the question—Mighty Thunder trod a similar path, finishing runner-up at Uttoxeter before landing Ayr’s showpiece in 2021.
