Mowhoob failed to figure on his handicap debut at Kempton and heavy ground at Haydock last time may have been a legitimate excuse for a poor effort by Santo Prince. Fair Comment has gone close in a Polytrack maiden but ARCTIC ADMIRAL makes most appeal as he wasn't far behind when fourth in the soft ground at Chepstow in August. Fading in the closing stages of the mile trip, Richard Hannon's colt may well hang on for victory this time. Both Scepticism and Our Three Graces took a backward step last time and Pivotal Silence has plenty to find.
