Verdict

St Peters Basilica looks no nearer winning after a fifth on the Fibresand at Southwell and gets a change of headgear. Rated 75, he’s still preferred to the others with experience including Shug but a newcomer may prove good enough. The latter’s stablemate Turn To Rock is a speedily-bred and related to decent handicapper Robot Boy while Bequest is a sister to a winner and a half-sister to a host of others. But the brother of FURY AND FIRE made a winning debut and given the latter’s half-brothers include Listed-winning sprinters, William Jarvis’ colt gets the speculative vote.
