TOGETHER they cost €1.8 million, and their debut victories netted connections about £13,500. Yet both of these horses are worth noting and watching in the coming months.

The Monsun three-year-old filly Fadillah commanded a price of €1.2 million when she was sold at the Arqana yearling in 2014, the best price of the week. Her appeal was obvious, being a full-sister to the classic-paced Soberania and a half-sister to the Group 1 winner Seismos (by Dalakhani) and the Group 3 winner Samba Brazil (by Teofilo). The last named has a yearling filly by Dubawi, her first produce.
