Mutawassel is an interesting runner on his first outing for Barry Hills and should be watched in the betting but a safer option could be Nawaqees who gets the vote ahead of Celtic Spirit. John Dunlop's charge was successful at Goodwood back in may and ran another solid race next time behind Habshan at Newbury. He still looks on a decent mark and has to go close. Celtic Spirit has to be considered a major threat having had a great three-year-old campaign and ran with promise on his return Kempton. He should step up on the effort and will be hard to keep out of the money. The ex-Qatar runner Mutawassel is a well bred son of Kingmambo and as we say watch for any market move. Ingratitude is a rare Henderson runner on the flat and is another to watch in the betting but Nawaqees looks to have the strongest recent form on show and he gets the decision.
