In depth
Verdict
Aquarium found one too good carrying a penalty at Wolverhampton last time for an earlier success at Lingfield. Evince failed to land the odds with a disappointing effort at Newcastle but Dillie Dallie showed some promise when fourth on her debut. GLORIOUS ARMY was only fifth at Kempton on his introduction but wasn’t beaten far and a subsequent winner has come out of the race. Ed Walker’s colt may prove good enough and is also preferred to the closely-matched pair Allegiant and Capla Jaipur.
