ARCTIC MOUNTAIN found only one too good upped to today’s trip at Nottingham a fortnight ago and any further progress should see him off the mark. A winner over hurdles, Wonderwall has placed in both starts on the Flat but Deep Dive ran poorly at Windsor last time. The latter’s stablemate Enrico Caruso is related to several winners while Al Anoud is a half-sister to a Group 2 winner. Delta Legend cost 200,000gns and Marzocco is preferred to Lope De Light of Andrew Balding’s duo.
