Race preview
A very competitive heat sees a chance taken on IL VA DE SOI who has been competing with rivals that boast a higher ceiling of ability recently and he can be seen to better effect today. Harry Derham's charge makes his handicap debut and this opening mark of 106 looks workable. Mikhailovich should also be on the scene, with this drop in trip likely to suit after not quite lasting home over the extended 2m4f at Market Rasen last month, while the consistent Spot On Soph is also in with a shout.
