Verdict

Aquarius who was a fair performer on the flat in his younger days for John Dunlop made a winning debut over hurdles on his first run for Martin Pipe when defeating Supreme Native. He was in the lead long enough on that occasion and if he is ridden with more restraint here he should have no trouble in defying his penalty in what looks an easier race. River City looks the main danger he has shown ability on all his starts so far, he was a fair fifth at Aintree last time out behind Box Builder and a reproduction of that effort will see him go close. Pele Mele is from a yard in top form but will need to improve significantly to win this. The Relic is from a top yard and got a favourable report in his trainers trainer file and the market may prove the best guide. The remainder give the impression they will be better in time on breeding.
