Cercene is out of Tschierschen (Acclamation), a winner at two, and they are her only two winners together with Perotto (New Bay), a six-time winner who was Group-placed in England with a third in the Gr.3 Sovereign Stakes and who won the Britannia Handicap at Royal Ascot in 2021.

Second dam Roo (Rudimentary) won at two and was Listed-placed. Her nine other winners include Gallagher (Bahamian Bounty), second in the Gr.1 Prix Morny, and four stakes-placed runners: Averoo (Averti), Quick Wit (Oasis Dream), New Day Dawn (New Approach) and Roodeye (Inchinor). Roodeye is the dam of Mohaather, winner of the Gr.1 Sussex Stakes and a sire, and of Prize Exhibit, a Grade 2 winner in the US who was placed at Grade 1 level, and the grandam of Accidental Agent, winner of the Gr.1 Queen Anne Stakes, and of History, a Group 3 winner in Ireland.

Third dam Shall We Run (Hotfoot) was placed and, with 15 foals old enough to race, left seven winners, among them Bannister (Inchinor), winner of the Gr.2 Gimcrack Stakes, and the dam of Astaire (Intense Focus), who took the Gr.1 Middle Park Stakes. She is a half-sister to Dead Certain (Absalom), winner of the Gr.1 Cheveley Park Stakes.
