Coolmore's superstar St Mark's Basilica was the latest first-season sire off the mark on Monday when his son Rogue Supremacy scored on debut at Wetherby. Well-touted before the opening 5 1/2-furlong maiden, the David O'Meara-trained £160,000 Goffs UK Breeze Up graduate established an early lead and never looked back. Showing enthusiasm throughout for Danny Tudhope, the 8-13 favourite hit the line with 2 1/4 lengths to spare over A'Ali's Vlad.
