24,000gns foal, 42,000euros yearling; half-brother to winners Silca Mistress (6f-7f; RPR 87) and Suns Up Guns Up (1m-1m6f; 73): dam a 6f/1m winner (87); should have a future but perhaps best watched on debut.

No match for the winner when upped to 6f at Chelmsford last month but it was a step up on what she'd shown previously and the race was run in record time; may well fare better in handicaps and southern yard is 8-19 with 2yos here.

Alfa Kellenic

J: Silvestre De Sousa

T: Ivan Furtado

Could do no wrong in handicaps as a 3yo, winning all five at 6f and 7f (good to firm and good to soft); had some excuses when only fifth in this last year (soft; favourite) and was entitled to need the run on her belated Ayr comeback last month for a new yard, albeit under the pump from some way out; could well be a lot sharper back on good ground.

J: Silvestre De Sousa

T: Ivan Furtado

Another success story in 2024, her smooth win in the Silver Cup completing a six-timer; subsequent Listed defeat at Newmarket (6f, soft; poor track position) is easy enough to excuse; highly likely this mark is still in range but it can't have been plain sailing for her to be reappearing so late in the campaign; remains a filly of interest but perhaps one for another day; first run for Ivan Furtado.
