Formscan - IL VA DE SOI arrives on the back of two Warwick successes and is still competitively treated off 6lb higher than for the latest of those wins. Donald McCain's gelding looks well placed to land the hat-trick, but this is no penalty kick because Crystal Glance won emphatically over C&D and even veteran Supreme Yeats went in search of a three-timer of his own at Hexham last time. Summergrounds will need to raise his game.
