In depth

Verdict

A winner over 2m at Kempton in October, Author's Dream was beaten at Lingfield recently when behind fourth-placed CREATIONIST. The latter hasn’t won since landing a double on the all-weather in 2019 but has tumbled down the weights subsequently and can also confirm latest running with Tynecastle Park. The latter is proven over this marathon trip and Cloud Thunder may also stay this far having won in testing ground over 2m at Newbury. Busy Street was winning all-weather bumpers early in the year and London Eye won over hurdles in September.
