Successful at this course in February, VANILLIER went on to be placed at the Cheltenham Festival for the second year running and he can resume winning ways back here. Last year's runner-up Desertmore House disappointed at Cheltenham last time but is worth another chance, while Busselton could go well in his title defence.

Race Hints

Specific Pace Hint: In a race that lacks confirmed pace-forcers, Desertmore House could get the run of things: Of the better-fancied horses, Bodhisattva is most likely to be ridden furthest from the pace.
Individual Price Hint: Cavalry Master traded at 10% or less of Betfair SP, 25% or less of Betfair SP and 50% or less of Betfair SP on 3 of its last 5 starts: Walking On Glass has traded at 50% or less of Betfair SP twice on its last 4 starts.
