| St Mark's Basilica filly who showed plenty to work on when third on debut in a turf maiden at Lingfield (7f) in August. Didn't progress in 2 starts at that trip thereafter but she still appeals as a likely improver now handicapping up in trip on return/for new stable. | ||||||||

| Capitalised on drop in grade when off the mark at Ripon (1m) in September and easy to overlook final start, never remotely in the hunt having been dropped in from wide draw when fifth over C&D in October. Likely needs to pull out more on return, nevertheless. | ||||||||

| Son of Dark Angel who finished runner up on first 2 starts, displaying fair form latterly at Lingfield (1m) in February despite still looking rough around the edges. Never figured on qualifying run at Southwell but could yet get back on the up now handicapping in a visor. | ||||||||

| Much improved upon returning from a break, runner up in February prior to shaping better than distance beaten suggests in a well-run race when third at Southwell (1m) 18 days ago. Opening mark looks workable on that evidence and expected to raise his game again now handicapping. | ||||||||

| Built on previous promise to notch back-to-back victories at around 1m last month and not seen to best effect (denied clear run/forced to switch) when fourth in hat-trick bid at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 23 days ago. Nudged up a little more in the weights but respected as an in-form sort. | ||||||||

| Kept busy since the turn of the year, resuming winning ways in first-time cheekpieces at Wolverhampton (8.6f) in February. Just as good in defeat since, no extra only late on when third at Chelmsford (1¼m) 13 days ago. Possibilities if proving as effective on turf back at 1m. | ||||||||

SAINT OF THE SEA has returned a much-improved model, shaping better than the distance beaten suggests when third on qualifying run at Southwell 18 days ago. He's the type to raise his game further from appealing opening mark and earns the vote, with Kokushoku, who is equipped with a first-time visor another to consider. Crimson Rambler and Bird of War can also figure. Del Corso commands a market check. |
