Familiar faces from the all-weather here and Mutassem is the one we like, Shifty Night and Lucid Dreams may do best of the others. The selection put in a superb display last time to outgun Kumakawa at Southwell earlier this month. It was only a banded contest but it was very competitive as most of the field were in good form at the time. He gets in here on a decent mark and looks the one to be on. Shifty Night has been in good form all winter landing three events at Southwell and if he can transfer that to the turf he should be involved in the finish. Lucid Dreams hasn't been out since finishing fourth in a decent race at Lingfield a year ago, but he can go well fresh and may sneak into a place at a decent price. This isn't the strongest of handicaps and it looks a good opportunity for Mutassem to make two wins in a row.
