Verdict
This is no better than the first division. Arquebusier has his first run for Emma Baker this afternoon having been with Arthur Moore previously. He has the past form to figure while Adios Alonso wouldn't be without a chance if back to his best. Duke's Affair landed a bit of gamble after a lay-off at Stratford in August but didn't deliver here next time when favourite. He's A Hawker was tailed off on his reappearance over 2m here so we'll take a chance that a reasonable summer on the Flat has rekindled WILD DESERT's interest. His only win so far over hurdles came off a 12lb higher mark, though that was at the start of 2011.
