        Verdict

        Il Va De Soi was only beaten a head at Kempton on his debut under Rules and Support Act also found only one too good at the same track in February. Sister to useful hurdler and chaser Arbarok and half-sister to two other winners, Viva Valentina will likely know her job having changed hands for €82,000 in 2021. But BOOSTER BOB travelled strongly won well at Ayr and will make a bold bid to defy his penalty as Molly‘s Third Man is likely to need further than this.
