Authorship is the latest off the Godolphin production line to find their way to John Ferguson and, having shown plenty of promise in four starts on the level, may well prove another winner for the yard. However, BROCKWELL is another Flat performer now trying his hand over timber, having joined Gary Moore from the Dascombe team. He's posted really sound efforts at York and Goodwood on his last two starts in the last six weeks and, with fitness assured, rates a more than viable option to the Ferguson contender, although there is a concern that this trip may ultimately prove a little sharp. Sacred Square, being brought along very steadily by Donald McCain, and the consistent if exposed You've Been Mowed, complete the shortlist in an interesting maiden hurdle for the time of year.
