Verdict

IN THIS WORLD has taken well to chasing, deservedly off the mark over fences with a professional display at Worcester last month, and shades the vote over Matterhorn, who is 3 from 3 over fences but up against a total of 8 rivals. Last year's winner Sir Tivo is another to consider.

  1. IN THIS WORLD (FR)
