Verdict

AUTHOR’S DREAM was back on a winning mark over 2m at Kempton and returned a convincing four-length winner. Bill Knight’s charge looks worth sticking with given Rafiot has something to prove over this far having also scored easily over 1m4f at Kermpton last time. Winklevi is unproven over the distance though went close over 1m6f at Wolverhampton recently but Prince Of Harts drops back down in class in first-time cheekpieces and makes more appeal.
