Well-bred filly is rated 79 after three starts; just under 6l ahead of Arrietty when runner-up at Thurles on second start last year; soft ground may not have suited when disappointing on return at Gowran; should go well in first-time cheekpieces.

St Mark's Basilica daughter of Irish 1,000 Guineas heroine Again; better of two late-season juvenile outings on second occasion when (odds-on) up with pace throughout and beaten 0.5l in Thurles fillies' maiden over 1m; good chance she'll stay 1m2f this year (Irish Oaks-entered) and shortlisted.

St Mark's Basilica filly with a beautiful pedigree; looked in need of the experience on debut when fifth of 16 behind stablemate Port Ferdinand at Naas (7f, yielding to soft) three weeks ago; can improve.

St Mark's Basilica filly; half-sister to four winners including Delphinia (1m turf 2yo/1m5f AW Listed; RPR 114), Delano Roosevelt (1m 2yo; 111) and Indian Maharaja (7.4f/1m 2yo including Listed; 102); dam 7f/1m winner (including 2yo/Irish 1,000 Guineas; 114); yard's newcomers can need the run but warrants respect given her pedigree which features plenty of 2yo winners.
