Globalisation hasn't done as well as expected after scoring at Ffos Las in November and the concession of 8lb to the in-form and progressive GLOBAL DREAM looks beyond him. Caroline Bailey's charge has won two out of three over fences and though up 7lb for his victory at Southwell his sound jumping can see him home again. Point-to-point winner Whitsundays won a maiden hurdle at Sedgefield in December but hasn't run well in two subsequent starts and makes his chasing debut as do Reyno and San Pietro, neither of who scored over hurdles though the latter did win between the flags.
