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.

Reappeared with a win in a Beverley maiden (8.4f, good to soft) in April and back to form when third at Ayr (upped to 1m3f, soft) on latest start; the latter was encouraging for this even longer trip on AW debut.

Did not need to improve to made all at skinny odds in Yarmouth maiden (first-time cheekpieces) last month, her fifth start, but finished well down the field on subsequent handicap debut at Ascot (also 1m, good to firm) and now has a point to prove.

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.

Form & Verdict
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.

Off the mark in minor Beverley maiden (about 7f) in May; she wasn't an immediate success in handicaps but solid effort when runner-up over 1m at Newmarket last month; has run creditably on Tapeta and should go well if handling this new surface.

Found a weak maiden when off the mark at long odds-on in May; hasn't quite matched that in two subsequent handicaps (7f) but this return to a longer trip looks a positive; possibilities.

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).

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.
