Some of the usual suspects have turned up for what will be a real slog on the heavy ground over this trip. Super Survivor isn't on that list, however, as he has only had six starts under Rules and three in chases, though he’s yet to go beyond 3m or tackle heavy ground. Volcano came right back to form last time and will stay but Warwick is his favourite track. Truckers Lodge is sure to go on the ground but he's perhaps not the force of old but Southern Sam could go well off bottom weight if getting the trip, EQUUS DREAMER won over this trip at Haydock last time and handles conditions. With Kim Bailey’s horses in much better form now, he should be thereabouts again.
