Forecasts

The Goffer (9/4), Desertmore House (3/1), Vanillier (4/1), Busselton (9/2), Well Buoy (10/1), Final Orders (16/1), Three By Two (20/1), Vital Island (25/1), Outside The Door (28/1), Gentleman De Reve (40/1), Walking On Glass (66/1), A Mighty King (80/1), Peaches And Cream (80/1), Lough Derg Spirit (100/1), Cavalry Master (125/1)

Verdict

VANILLIER seemed to lose his enthusiasm a little at the end of last season but might be refreshed by a break and this former Grand National runner-up is a potential class act if recapturing the form he showed when bolting up over C&D in February. La Touche Cup 1-2 Busselton and Desertmore House, who is fit from a recent point win, may provide the main opposition.
