Shamrock Breeze (IRE)
Shamrock Breeze won once from nine starts. The win came at Down Royal in Jun 2024 in a maiden over under 6f on good going. The filly, by Ardad out of the Sayif mare Ikigai, raced on turf seven times and on all-weather twice. Her last run, at Southwell in Oct 2024, was her first for Stephen Thorne; she finished fourth of 10, having raced prominently off an official rating of 93. She has never won on standard going or over 6f to 7f.

A/E compares actual wins with what starting prices implied. "Fair" strips the bookmaker margin from the expectation, so favourites and longshots are judged on the same footing — figures near 1.00 mean the market priced this horse about right.
KTB Speed and Rating
Best recent Speed 98
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 →
