Formscan - SO DEUCE impressed with a ready success in a maiden at Leicester and, armed with the weight-for-age allowance, Roger Varian's son of Lope De Vega has a strong chance of making a winning start to his handicap career. Gloucestershire is another interesting contender on his first start back with Martyn Meade, while Bodorgan also holds solid form claims and can go well, assuming he can negotiate a route through from his wide draw.
