BEAST OF BURDEN was outpaced by Laser Hawk when odds-on for his hurdling debut at Newbury but should recoup losses here as he has plenty of potential. Bernard Llewellyn's pair, Global Thrill and Pandorica, have an identical handicap rating but the former probably has more scope than the mare. Sword Of The Lord won twice over a mile on the Flat for Michael Bell and could be the pick of the remainder if his stamina holds out.
