In race seven on the eight-race card, Mutawaasel is favoured over I Have Dreamed and Happy Go Lily. A multiple winner in Qatar, Mutawaasel shaped pretty well on his second British run, which came at Newmarket last time. He can go well. I Have Dreamed is edging up the weights for some good efforts and looks competitive, while it would be no surprise to see Vacation find some more improvement at today's trip, but Kerriemuir Lass looks to need a career-best effort if she is going to win. William's Way caught the eye when last seen here over ten furlongs and could well be seen in a better light today, while Pagan Sword keeps edging up the weights for good efforts and maybe this legislates against a winning opportunity. Happy Go Lily's best run so far in a light career came over course and distance so give her some thought, while Mustajed is well weighted based on his best Turf form, although two all-weather runs need building upon, and, overall, Resonate posibly has two or three pounds to find before we could be strong on him for win purposes. All of which returns us to the selection, which is Mutawaasel.
