Aquarius coming of age at Goodwood

GOLD CUP runner-up Age Of Aquarius heads 19 entries in the Artemis Goodwood Cup on Thursday.

Trainer Aidan O’Brien reports the four-year-old to be in good shape ahead of the race following his fine effort at Royal Ascot, where he went down by only a neck to Rite Of Passage after a terrific tussle in the closing stages.

“He’s in good form. Obviously he had a tough race at Ascot and we eased him down a little bit,” O’Brien told At The Races.
