First View, a dual winner at Kempton in the autumn, has failed to fire in two starts on Dirt and races on Turf for the first time. Al Mukhtar Star followed two moderate runs on Dirt with a maiden victory over a mile where he stayed on strongly to lead close home. I Will Not, a winner over 6f on Dirt at Del Mar in November, never really looked like winning over 7f on the Turf track here last week and has another 2f to travel here. YA HAYATI is by Dubawi out of a dual Grade 1 winner in the USA. He finished four lengths behind First View on his debut at Kempton before winning there a few weeks later and his pedigree suggests he'll be more at home over this trip so he gets the vote. Princess Bride, another from the Godolphin camp, showed potential at Newmarket last summer and didn't take to Dirt on her debut here.
