ARAB SPRING will likely be a warm order on his reappearance. Not seen at the track since finishing runner-up at Newmarket on his debut, that race has produced a handful of winners and Sir Michael Stoute's colt gets the vote. Arable showed the benefit of his opening run with a better effort at headquarters in September and steps up in trip along with Mr Greenspan, a runner-up over 7f here in November. Pershing and the remainder have some catching up to do, though it's worth keeping an eye on the newcomer Miyachiku.
