Verdict

BASCULE and Author's Dream will be more at home back at this level having both struggled to figure in the Cesarewitch last time when the former came out best. Richard Hughes’ charge has won four of only seven previous starts on the all-weather and can return to winning ways back on this surface. Juan Bermudez steps up in trip for his debut on the all-weather and has the most scope of the remainder.
