Verdict

An intriguing staying handicap with AUTHOR’S DREAM going for a hat-trick having scored impressively over C&D and then followed up in easy style at Wolverhampton with the visor looking to have brought about the improvement. City Dreamer reverts to the Flat with Ryan Moore taking the ride and given what he’s achieved over hurdles may well look well handicapped here. Ardamir is yet to win a race but he features off a decent mark and strongly run race will suit. Both Retrieve and Caged Lightening are two others to consider here in a race that should provide a good test.
  1. Author's Dream
  2. City Dreamer
  3. Ardamir
