Burbank is by Yeats and from the same family as smart hurdler/chaser Wahiba Sands. He's one of several interesting newcomers in this bumper along with the French-bred Cristal De Sienne. HIDDEN CARGO is by a leading NH sire and out of a mare who won over hurdles, fences and on the Flat - Alan King's charge can make a winning debut. Ramonex shaped with promise when third at Ludlow in May and looks the pick of those with experience.
