MARBLE SANDS (NAP) was knocking on the door last season in decent company and he should be able to make the most of his experience in this given his yard is still firing in the winners. Whodini should do better now tackling hurdles but Rockinastorm had stronger bumper form. Hurricane Vichi and King Alexander are other bumper winners and Hunting Brook is another with scope. Paul Nicholls has a decent strike-rate here but Fame And Fun hasn’t shown much in three starts to date.
