    Race Analysis

    VANILLIER (2) has been in strong form and the earlier course success over 3m1f stands out in this contest. Latest Cheltenham third tackling a marathon trip was another solid effort and this looks a suitable assignment. DESERTMORE HOUSE (4) needed the outing when eighth at Cheltenham on return and may come on nicely from that outing. Ricky Doyle stays aboard and a much better showing is expected. THE GOFFER (13) performed below his best at Cheltenham but the previous second attempting the journey here gives him solid claims. BUSSELTON (3) returned in a hurdle at Cork after joining Enda Bolger and might be fitter now. Capable of featuring.
