Acrisius is a gelding by Ardad out of the Listed-winning mare Aetna. He’s a half-brother to two winners: Copper Mountain (by Sir Percy) and Ratafia (by Iffraaj), both of whom have shown solid form. Acrisius himself has notched victories at Brighton and Chester, demonstrating adaptability across contrasting tracks — from Brighton’s undulating terrain to Chester’s tight, turning circuit.

Name notes: In Greek mythology, Acrisius was a king of Argos. He was the grandfather of the famous Greek demi-god Perseus.
