Form & Verdict
St Mark's Basilica filly who cost 260,000gns as a yearling; shaped well when third of seven in Sandown maiden (7f, soft) on debut, with subsequent Prix Marcel Boussac fourth Esna only narrowly ahead of her in second; on the back of that she went off at 4-5 for a Newbury novice (1m, soft) in October but faded into fifth (Lovers Leap sixth); evidently well regarded and given another chance to confirm that debut promise.

Promising third at Sandown (7f, soft) last August on the first of her two 2yo starts and reappeared with win in a maiden at Beverley last month (8.4f, good to soft; unraced on softer); she has a useful pedigree and is in good hands to progress; possible player on handicap debut.

St Mark's Basilica filly who cost 260,000gns as a yearling; promising third of seven in Sandown maiden (7f, soft; 7-2) and the form has been strongly advertised by the runner-up since; shaped as if this extra furlong will suit; the pick of the runners with experience.

Off the mark at the fourth attempt when easily seeing off four rivals in a fillies' maiden at Beverley 11 days ago (7.4f, good to firm; 2-13f); this is more demanding but she should have more to come.

She's raced three times (7f-8.4f) and her most promising effort came when keeping on for third of five over 7f here last October on debut; this Ulysses filly could improve for the step up in trip on handicap debut and is one to watch in the betting.
