Forecasts

Vanillier (3/1), Stealthy Tom (10/3), The Goffer (7/2), Busselton (7/1), Desertmore House (9/1), Three By Two (11/1), Vital Island (12/1), Transprint (14/1), Read To Return (18/1), Peaches And Cream (22/1), Fralimonti Bilbery (25/1), Empire Soldier (33/1), Subset (66/1), Iriko D'airy (100/1), Benny The Duke (125/1), Jet Fighter (200/1)

THE GOFFER rates the pick at these weights and can build on earlier promise to end a losing sequence now returned to a more suitable trip. Vanillier wasn't at his best in the Grand National last time but could still emerge as the main danger ahead of Stealthy Tom and Three By Two.
