Trading Trouble, a dual hurdle winner, made mistakes on his jumping bow but, if having learned from those, must run well in a race that lacks strength in depth. Mumbai has plenty of experience over fences but has yet to win a race of any nature. Blakeney Coast is clearly not one of Mary Reveley's leading lights. Bob's Buster has shown some promise in routine contests. This brings us to Joe Cullen, the 2000 Cheltenham Festival Champion Bumper winner. He has failed to progress as one might have hoped from that win but still possesses ability. This is his chasing debut and, now in the care of Ian Williams - although still with the same owner, has a very good chance of making a winning debut over fences. As such, he gets the vote.
