Formscan  - IL VA DE SOI was still in contention when falling two out at Uttoxeter on New Year's Eve and it won't be a surprise if the eight-year-old is able to gain compensation, especially in a contest where so many of his rivals have a bit to prove. A change of headgear to blinkers might aid the cause of Magical King after a couple of below-par efforts over fences so far. Chasing debutant Ignore The Door appeals most of the remainder.
