THE WORLDS END wasn't far off top class last season over hurdles as shown when he was only beaten 7½L in the Stayers Hurdle. Having made a smooth start to his chasing career he looks a classy prospect and with a similar round of jumping here he should have too much for these rivals. Ibis Du Rheu is the biggest threat and will enjoy conditions so should be best of the rest. Theatre Territory is an excellent jumper and also one with place potential here.
