Verdict

Although yet to build on his highly impressive hurdling debut, IN THIS WORLD has shown more promise than the bare result suggests on occasions and, back from a break, he's worth taking a chance on for a yard that boasts a terrific record in competitive handicap hurdles. Last-time-out winners Our Champ and Getaway Drumlee must be respected.
