THE WORLDS END is a high-class staying hurdler who is an exciting prospect for chasing. He won a Grade 1 on good ground at Aintree as a novice and is three from three around here so is difficult to oppose. Terry The Fish won three times over the smaller obstacles and should also make a chaser while Now Mcginty was second in a Grade 3 handicap hurdle at Aintree in April after completing a double at Warwick and could be even better over fences given he is a full brother to the smart chaser Outlander among others. Merry Milan has won between the flags and over hurdles so adds to the interest.
