Burundi is entitled to consideration if the blinkers help. Dix Bay, twice a hurdle winner at Wetherby, is making his hurdling debut which might just count against him. Sound Of Cheers finished three-and-half lengths behind Supreme Fortune (who does not always find that much under pressure) last time but may fare better over a shorter trip and sharper track. Trading Trouble showed promise on his chasing debut over an inadequate trip and is entitled to improve, while Winchester, third to Telemoss on his first run over fences - and after an absence - is also entitled to improve but the trip looks a little on the short side of ideal for him. Trading Trouble gets the vote.
