Verdict

WORLD OF DREAMS carries a penalty but his Fontwell victory has been franked and Ben Godfrey’s claim is an added plus. Bob's Bar is preferred to Family Pot and Hillview of three recruits from the point-to-point circuit while Saturday Song can improve on his third at Newbury. Petty Cash is by a leading NH sire but is best watched making his debut.
