    Verdict

    Aquarium won in small fields at Epsom and Nottingham last month and there was nothing wrong with his third over a slightly longer trip last time at Goodwood – he is unlikely to be far away again. Three Saints Bay has made all for comfortable victories at Beverley the last twice but he may be vulnerable here raised another 6lb. RESTIVE SPIRIT (NAP) opened his account in a maiden here last month and was well backed to follow up at Goodwood. However, he missed the break and used up too much energy getting back on terms. The return to a mile will suit and compensation awaits. Humble Gratitude may prove the pick of the remainder.
