Similar type to Edge Of Darkness, being 0-6; ran poorly in Doncaster handicap (1m4f, soft) most recently; has made the frame in most starts at maiden/novice level and holds leading claims on peak form.

Modest on the Flat; 1-6 over hurdles, the win coming in a Kilbeggan maiden in April 2025 (15.5f, gd-yld); heavy ground not ideal the last twice; could improve for this sounder surface.

Sixties Icon half-sister to two French winners, notably Shimraan (1m2f-1m4f including Group 3); dam well-related French 11.5f AW winner; trainer not associated with first-time-out Flat winners but this filly wouldn't need to be anything special to take a serious hand in this field; check the market signals.
