Inchidaly Copper

The real story is Killarney. This is where Inchidaly Copper becomes a different horse. It has won two of three races at that course, a win rate of roughly two wins in three tries that stands out starkly against its overall career average. The last of those wins came just ten months ago in October 2025, suggesting the horse still has something to offer despite the lean spell since. The horse also shows a clear liking for soft or slightly soft ground—winning 2 from 6 on soft ground (33%) and 2 from 5 on slightly soft ground (40%)—which matters enormously in Britain and Ireland where wet weather is unpredictable. Any time Killarney stages a race on the softer end of the going, Inchidaly Copper becomes a genuine contender.

Jockey L Burke-Ott has built an interesting partnership with this horse, winning 3 of 8 races together (38%), a rate well above the horse's overall average. That suggests the rider understands how to get the best from it. Recent form has been tough—the horse has not won in its last six races, with mostly low placings, but came third in three of those runs, showing it is still competitive. At a ten-year-old still racing regularly, still capable of a third-place finish, and still showing form as recently as yesterday, Inchidaly Copper deserves respect the next time conditions and course align.
