Notes

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.

Latest

Two wins (Chester in 2025 and Brighton in 2024) and four places from 11 starts, Acrisius makes his seasonal reappearance after finishing 13th of 16 (beaten 8½ lengths by Lethal Nymph) at Doncaster in October.

Name notes:

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