Ballycross has been steadily coming to hand and is only a pound higher than when third at Wincanton but VOLCANO has been a real flag-bearer for the Sheila Lewis yard this season and can defy an 11lb rise for an effortless victory at Warwick to record a fourth win in five starts. Dieu Vivant, like the selection, is a previous course and distance but he was pulled up last time and Subcontinent and Arthur's Gift have plenty to prove at present.
