Ice Dancer
Ice Dancer is a three-year-old with the kind of record that keeps the yard hoping for a breakthrough. The horse has won just once in eight races — that victory came at Gowran Park on 20 September last year — and has placed twice, giving it a win rate of roughly 1 in 8 races. More telling is the recent form: Ice Dancer has been nowhere near the winners' circle in its last six outings, finishing in single figures each time, with a best of third just a few weeks ago.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

🔍 Full Analysis
TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
Trained by A P O'Brien at Cashel in Co Tipperary, Ice Dancer operates in a yard that is clearly firing on all cylinders — the stable has sent out 125 winners already this season. Yet this horse has been invisible at the track for nearly a year, the gap between that sole win and now stretching eleven months. Ice Dancer is active again after running just a day ago, but the form figures suggest it remains a long way from recapturing whatever worked that day at Gowran Park. At three years old, the window for a horse to prove itself is genuinely closing, and Ice Dancer's record so far says it is a middle-of-the-road performer still searching for consistency.
