Bangor-On-Dee Handicap Hurdle

Il Va De Soi has won his last two and remains competitive off a mark only 5lb higher than for the second of those successes; the course and distance pose no concern and he looks well placed to follow up. Supreme Yeats is the biggest threat — in good form himself with two wins in his last five, though the tongue-tie and blinkers are both new — while Crystal Glance ran away with a C&D handicap last time and is clearly progressive. Summergrounds needs to bounce back after a soft-ground reverse. Il Va De Soi is our selection.
