Fire Flyer (IRE)
Fire Flyer won three of 12 starts on turf between Oct 2022 and Mar 2025. Each win came on a first visit to the course, at Ascot in a Class 4 NH Flat race on good ground in Oct 2022, at Wincanton in a Class 3 novices hurdle over 1m5f – 2m on good to soft in Feb 2024, and at Taunton in a Class 4 novices hurdle over 2m1f – 2m4f on good the following month. The gelding, aged 7 at his last run in Mar 2025, finished prominent when last seen off a mark of 126 at Sandown.

KTB Speed and Rating
Best recent Speed 128
How fast the horse ran, as points against the day-corrected standard time for its course and distance: 100 is the median GB Class 4 handicap winner on that code; one point is 0.1% of the standard time. A, B or C is how much the day's card could tell us, not how good the run was. What this means →
