Aquarius is an interesting recruit to the jumping ranks and adds a touch of class to the race. A useful, if somewhat badly handicapped horse on the level, he should do better at this game, but in Supreme Native he faces an above average rival. Paul Nicholl's gelding, a dual-bumper winner has been a little unlucky so far over hurdles, none more so than when walking through the last at Chepstow when looking as though the race was there for the taking. He has the edge in experience and that can prove decisive.
