This represents a good opportunity for MARBLE SANDS to register a deserved first success over hurdles. The 6-y-o was placed all 4 starts in this sphere last season and sets a very good standard, particularly based on his effort in a Grade 3 Sandown handicap when last seen in March. King Alexander looked potentially useful when landing a Warwick bumper and he will ensure that Marble Sands doesn't have things all his own way. Whodini is most interesting of the remainder.
