Irish Flame (GB)
Irish Flame won once from 15 starts, the success coming at Class 5 level in the Spreadex Sports Live UK Racing Streaming Novice Stakes at Newcastle over 1m – 1m1f on Standard going in Dec 2022. The gelding, by Dark Angel out of a daughter of Invincible Spirit, has not won since. All 11 runs on the all-weather produced that single victory while he is 0 from 4 on turf. He finished second of 14 at Thirsk in May 2024 when last seen, racing off an official rating of 67 which was 10lb below his highest ever mark.

KTB Speed and Rating
Best recent Speed 101
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 →

Both figures are KTB's own, computed from the archive; no vendor rating enters either. Every run's figure is on its form line below with its grade. Grades measure how much the archive could see, never the merit of the run.
Run style is derived from in-running commentary, which our data provider does not supply for this horse's races.
