Formscan - SUPER SURVIVOR is the only one with a recent win to his name and resumes from a short break with a good chance of brushing aside a 5lb rise for his Haydock success before Christmas. This is a slightly deeper race and it's noteworthy connections opt to use a 10lb claimer for the competitively-weighted Porter In The Park, who could be the biggest danger on these terms. Big Cadillac is the pick of the rest.
