Aquarium won over a mile at Lingfield last month but looks vulnerable carrying a penalty up against LEGAL HISTORY. The latter found only Beautiful Memory, rated 86, too good at Chelmsford recently and that should be good enough form to land this. Loyal Promise was beaten a long way by an odds-on favourite when runner-up on his debut but is still preferred to Cross Swords and Looking For Carl while Karakoram looks up against it.
Aquarium 11-10fav (9-2) Made all, clear when edged left briefly over 1f out, ran on strongly, eased near finish, unchallenged, won at Lingfield 1m stks (6) pol in Jan beating Minute Mile (8-10) by 1l, 9 ran.
Cross Swords 13-2 (9-2) Slowly away towards rear, effort over 1f out, not trouble leaders, 6th of 8, 5 1/4l behind Roundabout Kitten (9-2) at Lingfield 1m 2f stks (5) pol in Jan.
Karakoram 50-1 (9-2) Always behind, last of 12, 14 1/2l behind Petruchio (9-2) at Wolverhampton 1m 1f stks (5) pol in Feb.
Legal History (IRE) 5-1 (9-2) Held up towards rear, headway over 5f out, led over 4f out, ridden over 1f out, edged left and headed inside final furlong, no extra, 2nd of 8, 1 1/4l behind Beautiful Memory (9-4) at Chelmsford City 1m 2f stks (5) pol in Feb.
Loyal Promise (IRE) 22-1 (9-2) Chased leaders, outpaced over 2f out, stayed on well inside final furlong, no chance with easy winner, 2nd of 3, 6l behind Gronkowski (9-9) at Newcastle 1m stks (5) pol in Feb.
Looking For Carl 25-1 (9-2) Towards rear, headway on inside over 1f out, kept on inside final furlong pressing for 3rd, no chance with 1st 2, 4th of 9, 4 3/4l behind Aquarium (9-2) at Lingfield 1m stks (6) pol in Jan.
