Just seven runners for our first event and it gives Mutamared a great chance to lose his maiden tag at the expense of Able Mind and In The Pink. Not one of Goldolphin's superstars, but the selection has shown enough in two outings to suggest he can beat these rivals. His first effort was in a decent looking maiden in Dubai back in February, that was followed by a pleasing second behind Michael Stoute's Super Song at Lingfield in August. He should improve for that British debut and will take all the beating. Able Mind has been a model of consistency, and the pick of this season's efforts was a third placing behind Ocean Victory at Lingfield, a repeat of that showing will see him go close. In The Pink has also been knocking on the door this term and is another to consider. However this won't take too much winning and Mutamared is the choice to get punters off to a winning start.
