FormscanBy Michael Graham - War Front filly ELIZABETHAN could yet prove better than this grade. There was a lot to like about the way she comfortably beat her 17 rivals in a fillies' maiden at Naas in October. The form has been endorsed by the third home who has since won twice including the Birdcatcher in Naas. This sister of Group One winners Roly Poly and U S Navy Flag has an Irish 1,000 Guineas entry. Silver Service has the big advantage of race fitness. Michael Mulvany's mare has already been out this season when posting a solid effort in second at Naas last month. She went down by a neck after keeping on well once headed in the final furlong. The handicapper didn't miss her as he tacked on 4lb, but that was her first run since November and should have her ripe for this assignment. Drying ground will aid Dundalk maiden winner Sindhia's cause and there could be a bit of scope in her mark of 80. Queenship is another to consider.
