War Chief and Hot In The City are both likely to need this. WORLD OF DREAMS didn’t get the run of the race when surrendering his unbeaten record in a Grade 2 bumper at Aintree in April. He still ran well and is an exciting prospect for novice hurdles. Fellow bumper winner Bari Breeze hasn’t pulled up any trees in two runs to date over timber while Gold In Doha will probably do better over further. Hititi won in the French provinces but is probably best watched on his hurdles bow.
