VOLCANO was second last time when stepped up in trip for his first handicap and he looks the sort to stay on the right side of over this sort of distance so he is taken to go one better. Also looking likely to be suited by this trip is fellow unexposed sort Hastrubal for Henry Daly. Too Many Chiefs won last time out and his stamina will come into play in these conditions.
