Verdict
AQUAMAN had no problem navigating his way around the sharp track at Catterick and landed the odds in novice company in good style. There is more to come now handicapping and he’s preferred to the returning Aleas. The latter made a winning handicap debut over a mile at Kempton back in November but Buxted Too found a progressive type too good over the same trip at Sandown. Yazaman has something to prove now fitted with a tongue-tie for this but Melody Of Life can do better back over today’s trip and Bravado steps up from 6f.
