Silca Bay
SILCA BAY is still relatively unexposed on turf and shaped as if still at the top of his game when a luckless fourth at Sandown earlier in the month. He makes most appeal ahead of Mythical Guest, who went with plenty of encouragement from the front at Ascot last week, with Astrazar completing the 1-2-3.

Won 3 times at Kempton in the second half of 2025 and got his head back in front in a 1m Goodwood handicap last month, overcoming traffic problems. Unlucky not to finish closer in the face of another troubled passage when fourth of 10 at Sandown (1m) 2 weeks ago and he's a leading player again.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosSandown Park1mGood (Good to Firm in places)Flat4/10Goodwood1mGood to SoftFlat1/9Salisbury1mGoodFlat4/11Kempton Park7fStandard / SlowFlat14/14Kempton Park1mStandard / SlowFlat4/9- 7(6)AstrazarJ: Hector CrouchT: Ed Walker411-974Age 310/311/43/1

Failed to win over 5f/6f on his first 5 starts but 2-2 when stepped up to 7f last autumn, including a valuable conditions race at York. Back on track when a never-threatening fourth of 8 in handicap at Chester (7f, good to firm) 21 days ago and he's not ruled out taking on his elders for first time.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosChester7f 1yGood (Good to Firm in places)Flat4/8Carlisle7f 173yGood to Firm (Good in places)Flat7/14Newbury7fGoodFlat9/14York7fGoodFlat1/14Ffos Las7f 80yHeavyFlat1/6- 3(1)Elan D'orJ: Marco GhianiT: Stuart Williams2211-50Age 37/27/210/3

Ended 2025 with a pair of all-weather handicap wins at up to 1m. Shaped as if retaining all of his ability when fifth on return on the Rowley Mile in May, though went backwards from that when only eleventh of 13 in handicap at this C&D (good to firm) last month.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosNewmarket (july)1mGood (Good to Firm in places)Flat11/13Newmarket (rowley)1mGood to FirmFlat5/9Kempton Park1mStandard / SlowFlat1/5Chelmsford City7fStandardFlat1/8Kempton Park7fStandard / SlowFlat2/8- 2(5)Mythical GuestJ: Robert HavlinT: George Margarson23-0993Age 67/23/110/3

Is on a long losing run but was placed 7 times in 2025 and he gave best only late on when third of 8 in handicap at Ascot (1m, firm) 8 days ago. Might not face much competition for the lead here and isn't discounted from just 1 lb above his last winning mark.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosAscot1mGood to FirmFlat3/8Newmarket (july)1mGood (Good to Firm in places)Flat9/13Yarmouth1m 3ySoftFlat9/11Newmarket (rowley)1mGoodFlat10/10Newmarket (rowley)1mGood to SoftFlat3/11- 4(7)Lady MarikoJ: Cieren FallonT: Dylan Cunha2-16060Age 48/18/19/1

Proved better than ever when scoring at Kempton (6f) in April following 5 months off. Shaped as if still in good form having raced in the disadvantaged group in the Kensington Palace at Royal Ascot last month and she's not discounted back down in grade.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosAscot1mGood to FirmFlat18/24Wetherby7fGood to Firm (Good in places)Flat6/14York7fGood (Good to Firm in places)Flat11/22Yarmouth7f 3yGoodFlat6/7Kempton Park6fStandard / SlowFlat1/7- 6(3)Dovey MoonJ: John EganT: David Evans31-7103Age 49/19/110/1

Off the mark for the season in 1m Salisbury handicap in May. Found things tougher in typically competitive York race next time before returning to form when third at Pontefract 19 days ago. Needs a bit more from this mark.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosPontefract1m 6yGood (Good to Firm in places)Flat3/7York1m 2f 56yGoodFlat14/18Salisbury1mGoodFlat1/11Wetherby1mGood to Firm (Good in places)Flat7/12Nottingham1m 75yGood (Good to Soft in places)Flat1/11- Non-Runners

Notched third win at Newcastle in September and ran creditably enough when fifth there on his first outing this year. Down the field all 3 starts since, though, so not the easiest to make a case for after 106 days off.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosNewcastle1m 5yStandardFlat14/14Newcastle1m 5yStandardFlat9/12Southwell1m 13yStandardFlat10/12Newcastle1m 5yStandardFlat5/9Newcastle1m 5yStandardFlat1/13
