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.

Narrow winner of a Beverley maiden before finishing a fair fifth on her handicap debut at Thirsk (1m, good); found things tough in the Sandringham at Royal Ascot last time but she's back in calmer waters now and still has potential after only five starts; not ruled out.

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.

Turned over at odds on on first two starts this season but made no mistake with cheekpieces added (retained) in maiden at Yarmouth (1m, good to firm) 23 days ago, making all; not obviously progressive but still no surprise were she to kick on now she's got her head in front.

Boasts a BHA rating of 80 which puts her head and shoulders above her rivals in form terms; on the downside, she has been turned over at long odds-on twice this season and connections now reach for cheekpieces; not one for maximum faith but still an obvious candidate.

450,000gns yearling; showed some promise with fourth of nine on 7f Wolverhampton debut in September; perhaps soft ground didn't suit when sixth (Thankfully fifth) of eight at Newbury (1m) later in the autumn; cheekpieces are reached for on reappearance.

Found a weak maiden when off the mark at long odds-on in May and is better judged on her latest handicap debut effort; cheekpieces come off for a trainer bang among the winners and this filly is one to consider under Billy Loughnane (7-40 for the yard).

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.
