Aquarian was a disappointing favourite at Huntingdon in December but that wasn’t his true running and this thorough test of stamina should suit. But VERY EXTRAVAGANT is running well enough to suggest he can end a winless run that stretches back to 2016. Moorlands Mist, Bearly Legal and Valleyofmilan are very much in the veteran stages now but the former is a previous course and distance winner.
