Formscan  - SOIR DE GALA is sure to prove popular on this quick turnaround having finished a respectable second on his handicap debut at Plumpton at the beginning of the month. Paul Nicholls' charge is effectively 7lb well-in and he can break through if running to a similar level. The biggest threat may emerge from King's Castle, who finished behind a pair of subsequent winners when fourth at Wincanton on Boxing Day. Daany could prove a viable each-way alternative.
