Verdict
Avarchie has been absent since beating two subsequent winners in a Worcester bumper in July of last year but has joined the Skelton yard so should be ready. De Barley Basket is a points winner but Marcel Debruxelles is clearly well down the pecking order in Nicky Henderson’s stable. KING OF THE SAND has won twice over 1m4f, most recently at Epsom just over three weeks ago. He was much too keen on his only previous run over hurdles but could stretch these if setting a more sensible pace today. War Lord should make a hurdler and has been gelded since his debut in an Exeter bumper.
