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.

  1. VANILLIER (FR)
  2. BUSSELTON (FR)
  3. DESERTMORE HOUSE (IRE)
