8/11

St Mark's Basilica colt shaped very well under a considerate ride when fourth on debut and took his form up a big notch when filling the same position behind Nola Soul in Chesham Stakes at Royal Ascot. Sets the standard on latest run and sure to progress again.

St Mark's Basilica colt. Showed promise amidst clear inexperience when 6 lengths fourth of 8 to Giant Sequoia in maiden at Curragh in June. That outing should stand him in good stead and is open to improvement.

Forecasts

South Dakota (8/11), Full Volume (3/1), Celtic Moon (4/1), Venetian Power (9/2), Pints Of Glory (10/1), Dakota Jack (33/1)

SOUTH DAKOTA showed marked improvement when fourth in listed company at Ascot 27 days ago and, bred more for stamina than speed, is taken to get off the mark now tackling 1m for the first time. Full Volume left his debut effort well behind when winning easily at Bellewstown 12 days ago and rates the main danger, while Venetian Power is open to improvement.
