Verdict
World Of Dreams completed a double in bumpers on this track and made a very convincing start over hurdles at Fontwell. He's likely to do even better over the longer trip and should make a bold bid to defy a penalty. Braganza Bay was staying on strongly over an extended 2m at Market Rasen and has to enter the equation while Walkonthewildside showed much improved form when stepping up to 2m3f at Fontwell. STAG HORN is rated 103 on the Flat which should be good enough for a race of this nature. Five-times a winner and a confirmed stayer with a Class 2 Goodwood handicap to his credit, he can take this before going on to better things. Auba Me Yang makes his hurdling bow after a couple of fair runs in bumpers.
