Story Rory (IRE)
Story Rory won three handicap hurdles from 24 starts on turf between May 2022 and Jun 2023. All three successes came at Ballinrobe, Sligo and Tramore, two of them over 2m5f – 3m and one over 2m1f – 2m4f on good to soft, soft and good ground. The gelding, by Oscar out of a Loup Solitaire mare, was last seen finishing 12 of 12 at Clonmel in May 2025 when he raced off an official rating of 102, 15lb below his highest ever mark.

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 121
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 →
