Verdict

Provided all is well on the back of a significant absence, IN THIS WORLD could take plenty of stopping on his handicap debut in this sphere. The 5-y-o won a Warwick juvenile event in the manner of a smart recruit back in November 2021 he should have plenty more to offer. Zambezi Fix battled well when getting his head in front at Chepstow and is second choice ahead of Bubble Dubi and Galice Macalo.
