AGE OF AQUARIUS is still engaged in the Coronation Cup but is more likely to be Ballydoyle's chief Cup hope this year following the retirement of Yeats and his excellent comeback second to Harbinger at Chester bodes well for the rest of the season. Profound Beauty progressed throughout last season despite her age and it was no disgrace to finish fourth in a much better than average Irish St Leger on her final start. She loves this track and is a threat while John Oxx would not be pitching the lightly-raced and progressive Haralan in at this level if he did not believe he was capable of a big run.
